So where does a place like Wik ...

They both provide stream both companies provide streaming services, but they're also vertical. You have a big streaming service buying ...

Netflix Will ‘Scale Up' as Needed With Warner: Gallagher
Bloomberg Television· 2025-12-05 23:06

Where's your head on this. Do you plan to hold hearings on this deal. Well, I think everybody should just take a deep breath.You know, what we saw under the Biden administration was kind of an immediate knee jerk reaction to say, you know, any time he had two major names and they looked like they were even discussing a merger, that oftentimes there was a a just an onslaught of criticism. And then what what happened is once the regulators and the enforcers kind of took a look at it, it made sense for consume ...
