Well we lost $11 billion dollars, ruined HBO as a brand, all of our terrible DC movies aren't making money, we lost the rights to the NBA, and even considered selling off our brand mascots. So I guess Zaslav gets his full bonus for a job well done

Well if WB pays Zaslav more, he'll do a better job, so that needs to happen at the next board meeting.

He though giving Malone control over ccn would improve ratings,

I let my Max subscription lapse some time ago. A smattering of decent HBO shows and one or two great ones is just not worth it. Zaslav has been running this company into the ground. Apple TV+ smokes Max in value. And now they're realizing maybe dropping the name "HBO" off of HBO was a bad move? LOL

But hey, he's making big bank so it's all worth it…for him. 🙄
