A major AEW broadcast partner is to undergo major changes, with the division of its business operations being revealed.

Since May 2019, AEW has seen its Dynamite show air on Warner-owned platforms, initially airing on TNT and now on TBS.

With previous reports that Warner Bros Discovery was being split into two publicly traded companies, the names of the new companies have been revealed.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the streaming and studios company will be named Warner Bros, and the global networks company will be called Discovery Global.

HBO Max has served as the streaming platform for AEW content since January this year and has recently undergone a name change of its own, having previously been known as “Max” before reverting back to its original name.

Tony Khan has previously revealed that a third entry in AEW’s weekly televised programming is “something to consider“.
