Discovery Networks U.S., a privately owned entity headquartered in the US and operating under WBD Networks (Discovery), was founded in 1985. With approximately 5000 employees, the company reported $9.2B in revenue as of 2020. Functioning as a US-based channels group of Discovery, it manages 19 linear channels, primarily focusing on broadcast television and radio.
On April 4, 2026, Netflix continued its strategy of building culture-defining franchises independently, following its unsuccessful bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery and its extensive character and story library. Previously, on April 3, David Berson was reportedly identified as the "odds-on favorite" to lead a combined CBS/TNT Sports division, amidst discussions involving Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery assets. Earlier the same day, a report highlighted that Gulf leaders and their sovereign-wealth funds had invested billions in various ventures, including the takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, in the months preceding the U.S. and Israel's attack on Iran. This followed Warner Bros. Discovery's move on April 2 to leverage legacy intellectual property like Tom and Jerry, stabilizing advertising revenue in the MENA region by optimizing free-to-air satellite distribution on NileSat and Arabsat, reflecting a pivot towards hybrid monetization models in emerging markets.
