I mean, it is the strangest, dumbest buy, to take all these Last Century cable channels with no real live streamers -- Discovery+ is a bad joke -- and no real "fit" with HBOMax.
The reason Zucker is staying is that he is probably re-imagining all these cable-cord channels as 24/7 'woke' stations with Maoist programming.
Which is interesting because he's decided to do a face plant rather than leave on top. Which means none of the studios were ready to hire him, and he had to stay to have contact with any spending money for production.
Think about this for a moment -- Zucker starts stuffing these channels with new woke crap and abandons the vault model, he'll have to give it away, which means putting the revenue hurt on still-corded Charter, Comcast, Dish, Verizon, and of course ATT!
