NDAs are weird like that.

So a NDA prevented him from saying I am correct, but did not prevent him from saying I was incorrect?

This thread has gone off the rails!

As my cousin often laments, "we've all devolved to arguing with strangers on the internet."

My first paragraph-

Then this-



Yet I did know, less than a month ago, my source was from someone who works at Paramount, how did she have the information, over you, who claims to work for them.


You are Monday morning posting with the above, all of a sudden you do know, yet leaving up all those posts were you said I was incorrect.

I also posted that Warner are doing massive cuts in the budgets for all their cable channels ( except HBO, which has already been cut), am I wrong on that also, because I know I am not.

Ha! she didn't know a month ago. It literally wasn't decided at that point. I promise you that. It was no where near a done deal. That's for sure. The potential transaction wasn't even structured at that point and the vote very easily could have gone the other way. Just because it ultimately happened does not mean that it was always going to go that way. These board discussions can be interesting to say the least.

Travel channel was an original Discovery channel. They are moving the Discovery content away from MAX as it transforms into HBO MAX.

If I remember correctly ..The original travel channel was related to the weather channel (back when they showed actual weather)...back in the 80s

Nope, started in 1987, founded by TWA Marketing Services, the only connection to The Weather Channel, In 1992, the network was sold to Landmark, then-owner of the Weather Channel; five years later, Landmark sold it to Paxton, that same year, Discovery bought 70%, the remaining 30% in 1999.

I shouldn't have said "original". I should have said when the Warner Bros and Discovery merger took place it was owned by Discovery.
