It's now merged with AT&T...what's with all the buying everything nowadays?

It's all about the money and the content that came with the Turner acquisition. Everyone wants to launch a network app so every prospect is being bought up. Just like the Disney & Fox merger. It's all about getting the content to launch Disney Plus.

It's a end of a era with Turner finally gone through. I still remember watching Joe Bob Briggs on TNT for Monstervision in the 90's. Not to mention watching WCW Nitro and Thunder every week.

Are TNT & TBS going to change their names though?

Microsoft is no longer involved with MSNBC but they still call it MSNBC. You'd think they'd keep it the way it is simply for name recognition.
