If Netflix’s purchase of HBO Max and Warner Bros. gains regulatory approval, it could have tremendous ripple effects across the whole industry.
Out of potential ramifications for Apple and the Apple TV service, one initial concern has now seemingly been put to rest.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos—also known as Apple TV’s The Studio actor Ted Sarandos—spoke today at the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference. In his remarks, he praised the work of the Warner Bros. Television Group, which is led by a former Netflix staffer, Channing Dungey.

A coalition of more than 230 environmental groups has demanded a national moratorium on new datacenters in the US, the latest salvo in a growing backlash to a booming artificial intelligence industry that has been blamed for escalating electricity bills and worsening the climate crisis.
The green groups, including Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Food & Water Watch and dozens of local organizations, have urged members of Congress to halt the proliferation of energy-hungry datacenters, accusing them of causing planet-heating emissions, sucking up vast amounts of water and for exacerbating electricity bill increases that have hit Americans this year.

After Netflix announced that it was acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery last week, observers immediatley wondered when or if the deal could obtain regulatory approval. Now, President Trump has made comments indicating that said approval is likely to take awhile if it happens at all, Bloomberg reported.
”Well, that’s got to go through a process, and we’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters in a recent Q&A scrum. ”But it is a big market share. It could be a problem.” The President added that he will be personally involved in the approval process.
