Eventually, HBO Max and Discovery+ will come together as a single streaming offering, but the integration will "take a while," CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels said at an investor conference today. With the $43 billion merger of Discovery and WarnerMedia in the "ninth inning" ahead of an expected April close, the exec continued, the near-term focus is on providing a bundle of the two discrete services. He delivered the comments at Deutsche Bank's 30th annual Media, Internet & Telecom Conference. Down the line, "the main thrust is going to be harmonizing the technology platforms," Wiedenfels said, "building one very strong combined direct-to-consumer product and platform, and that's going to take a while."
