90 Day Fiancé: What The Discovery-Warner Merger Means For TLC Shows
TLC's parent company Discovery is now merging with Warner Bros, and this monumental business decision will have a significant impact on the overall 90 Day Fiancé franchise and how fans will be able to watch the series and its spinoffs in the future. On May 17, 2021, AT&T announced that its subsidiary Warner Bros will merge with Discovery to become a unified entertainment conglomerate. Warner had been operating under AT&T since 2018, which is when it was acquired by the tech giant. Moving forward, however, Warner Bros will no longer operate as a subsidiary under parent company AT&T.
As AT&T shifts focus to its core products and services related to telecommunications, the company will let go of Warner Bros. In turn, Warner will merge with Discovery and operate as the Warner Bros Discovery conglomerate in the near future.

On March 11, 2022 the Warner Bros-Discovery merger was approved by stockholders.
