Warner Bros. and DC could be looking for brand new owners if the stalled Time Warner/AT&T buyout doesn’t come to fruition.
Citing a source that has personal knowledge of the situation, The Wrap reports that if the long-delayed Time Warner and AT&T deal doesn’t ultimately go anywhere, “Time Warner would likely be broken up into parts and sold separately as Warner Bros., HBO and Turner.”
Apple was once reported to be interested in scooping Time Warner, however, that quickly went south when the Cupertino-based company denied that they have intentions of taking over.
While DC Entertainment wasn’t specifically named as a possible individual asset to be auctioned off, operating under Warner Bros. since 1970 more than likely means that it will go wherever the film studio goes.
