this might NEVER happen at all unless they go to court.

Paramount-Skydance would most likely NOT have to spin off HBO Max (where "Max" was the old Cinemax that was taken over by HBO), nor spin off CNN (what Paramount-Skydance really wants, in order to make an OAN out of it, more so than it is already).

But WB wants to remove CNN from their portfolio and let it sink or swim on its own before any sale of the rest of their stuff.
