'HBO Max will stay' even after Netflix deal says Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav

Move over Mark Twain, this time its HBO Max whose death may have been greatly exaggerated – according to Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav.

Many had assumed that Netflix would most likely kill off the rival streaming service once its recently announced acquisition of WBD is approved by regulators, with a fear this could seriously increase the monthly subscription price of its platform thanks to the wave of new content it just paid a seriously large amount of cash for.

Now, according to a recording of a WBD all-hands meeting obtained by Business Insider, Zaslav has assured staff that “HBO Max will stay.” Adding that “For people that only want HBO Max, they’ll be able to get it.”
