Quotable

“We’ve been hard at work on this for nearly two years and so the timing of hte launches has literally been set for about a year and a half. And it is very similar to a question which is why launch HBO Max, and you launch these things because they are in many ways the future of the business. The vision for CNN+ has always twofold, which is to have a standalone service for those folks that are interested in a news product like CNN+, but also have the ability to have it bundled into HBO Max where you’re able to purchase CNN+ and be able to consume it either as a standalone app or as part of HBO Max. So that’s always been the vision and that hasn’t changed, and I suspect that won’t change with Discovery.” – Outgoing WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar speaking to CNBC’s “TechCheck” on the launch of CNN+
