Entertainment's respective assets that formed the combined WarnerMedia Studios & Networks Group unit. Casey Bloys—who has been with WarnerMedia since 2004 (as director of development at HBO Independent Productions), and was eventually elevated to President of Programming at HBO and Cinemax in May 2016—added oversight of WarnerMedia's basic cable networks and HBO Max to his purview.<ref name="deadline-wmlayoffs"/><ref name="thr-wmlayoffs"/><ref>{{cite web|title=WarnerMedia Begins Massive Round of Layoffs|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/warnermedia-begins-massive-round-layoffs-1287678|first=Tatiana|last=Siegel|periodical=The Hollywood Reporter|date=August 10, 2020|access-date=August 31, 2020}}</ref> Turner was subsequently [[Delaware General Corporation Law|reincorporated in Delaware]] on December 30.<ref>{{Citation |title=Business Conversion: Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. |date=December 30, 2020 |url=https://ecorp.sos.ga.gov/BusinessSearch/DownloadFile?filingNo=19879490 |work=Georgia Corporations Division |publisher=[[Georgia Secretary of State]] |access-date=December 27, 2024 |id=Filing {{abbr|No.|Number}} 19879490}}</ref> On April 8, 2022, WarnerMedia was divested by AT&T and merged with [[Discovery, Inc.]] to form [[Warner Bros.
