Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav expresses optimism for upcoming media mergers under the Trump administration, citing a potential shift from Biden-era antitrust policies. Zaslav highlighted the need for consolidation in the media sector, which has faced significant disruptions. The media industry sees a chance for improved streaming services and weakened regulatory barriers. However, Zaslav's past merger discussions with companies like Paramount were hindered by regulatory concerns. WBD recently reported a quarterly profit, aided by cost controls and subscriber growth across its streaming platforms, despite challenges in the traditional TV business.
