Netflix<\/a>\u2019s chief global affairs officer says the human cost of a Paramount Skydance<\/a> x Warner Bros.<\/a> Discovery<\/a> deal would be astronomical.<\/p>\n

On Fox Business Network<\/a> on Monday, Clete Williams rang the alarm bells on Paramount<\/a>\u2019s competitive bid for all of Wbd; Netflix currently has a deal in place for the Warner Bros.\u2019 streaming and studios business, inclusive of HBO.<\/p>\n

Netflix\u2019s deal for WB<\/a> is presently under regulatory review here and abroad. Williams told Fox Business<\/a> anchor Liz Claman<\/a> that it\u2019s all \u201cjust ordinary course of business stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, the Department of Justice<\/a> is going to investigate this transaction and make sure that it\u2019s good for our economy and good for our consumers,\u201d Williams said. \u201cAnd my understanding is that they\u2019ve sent similar inquiries about Paramount as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams says Netflix is currently \u201cengaging with state attorney generals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nothing anticompetitive to see here, Williams said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
