HBO Max will most likely be called "Max" after Warner Brothers Discovery merger [1]

['Devin Nealy']

Date: 2022-12-06

Day 3748 of streaming wars™: It's been two years since HBO Max went live, and the world of streaming media has not been the same. In the immediate aftermath of its launch, HBO Max served as a key platform for Hollywood to release films during quarantine. Armed with a plethora of top-tier exclusive content, it seemed like HBO Max would become the undisputed frontrunner in the streaming wars™.

However, after Warner Brothers and Discovery fused into a giant corporate chimera, HBO Max took a turn for the worst. The platform started to cancel projects left and right. In some cases, HBO Max even deleted completed projects from its content library. It was a dark time in the streaming wars™.

According to CNBC, HBO Max is slated to receive a new name that will reflect the bevy of content shared between Warner Brothers and Discovery. It's not official just yet, but the new platform is eyeing the name "Max" as its new moniker.
