They started out as Warner Communications Inc., then Time-Warner Inc., then AOL Time Warner Inc., then back to Time Warner Inc., and now WarnerMedia for their names. Paramount Global is also one of the biggest companies as well making shows, cartoons and more. Both companies are famous for movies, cable, animation, and TV. All of their entertainment bring joy, laughter, and so much more! But, now let's close our eyes and imagine: What if WarnerMedia bought Paramount Global for $90.10 billion on March 10, 2021.

** WarnerMedia will rename the main movie studio to Warner-Paramount Film Studio.
** WarnerMedia will get back sold companies.
** WarnerMedia will rebrand Paramount Digital Entertainment as Warner-Paramount Interactive.
** Warner-Paramount Television Studios will be formed on May 4th, 2022.
