1007 ET - After the Warner merger closes, Paramount will unite the streaming services on one platform, says Chief Executive David Ellison. Combined, the companies' streaming services have over 200 million subscribers. "We think that really positions us to compete with the leaders in the space," Ellison says. Paramount will still provide HBO Max independence to continue operating as it has previously. "Our view point is HBO should stay HBO.And they built a phenomenal brand. They are a leader in this space," Ellison says. "But by bringing the platforms together, all of our content will be able to reach even a broader audience than we can do standalone."
