What if Warner, Comcast, and Paramount would merge after Discovery?

While sure that both WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc. had merged into Warner Bros. Discovery, but after that, i hope that Paramount Global and Comcast would be next to be bought from National Amusement by Warner in the future, but will it? Let’s imagine this scenario.

## Reasons

Considering Warner, Comcast, and Paramount have their relationship, here are the reasons why if three companies merge.

1. Nickelodeon and MTV were both once owned by Warner back in the late 70s before being bought out by Viacom in around early 80s.
	1. Also before being bought out by Viacom, Warner acquired Turner’s fated Cable Music Channel and turned it into VH1 in 1985.
2. Nickelodeon used to air Warner’s properties like Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, and films like the 2002 Scooby Doo movie and recently they aired Space Jam
3. Both CBS and Warner Bros. jointly own The CW channel
4. Speaking of which, both CBS and The CW air shows based on DC franchises
5. Both Warner and Nick teamed up to produce a crossover film based on Batman and TMNT, which that already happened.
6. Not to mention that Teen Titans Go has an episode with a TMNT character as a guest star
7. Paramount Parks (now Cedar Fair) used to have Hanna-Barbera properties at their parks until 2006
8. During early 2000s, a Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoon Fridays commercial aired on Nickelodeon. Crazy.
9. The 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory once released by Paramount before selling out to WB.

And it’d get transferred to Warner Bros. Animation as its division, although the pre-2001 HB library still remain in the WB Animation library, and that goes to the Warner Animation Group library too.
