▼ + stars: | 2024-06-04 | by ( Ece Yildirim | In Ecedyildirim | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Discovery 's Max announced price increases for its ad-free options on Tuesday, as a range of streamers make their memberships more expensive. Discovery and Disney's decision to bundle their streaming services, Disney+, Max and Hulu. Discovery last month missed both top- and bottom-line estimates for its first-quarter earnings report, despite adding two million direct-to-consumer streaming subscribers during the quarter. This is only the second time Max has raised prices for its ad-free service since its launch. Last summer, Netflix got rid of its cheapest basic ad-free option in the U.S. and U.K. markets, offering a cheaper yet ad-supported option and more expensive ad-free options instead.

☆ Here's how Disney’s streaming business can work toward Netflix-like profitability

Disney's streaming margins, while still negative due to losses and nowhere near Netflix's, have improved significantly in recent quarters and are now on the doorstep of an important milestone. Disney's streaming overview Disney+ is its flagship streaming service across the globe. The ARPU discrepancy on Disney+ core helps explain why Netflix is much more profitable than Disney's streaming business. Given that Disney's streaming business has rolled out pretty much everywhere across the globe, Cruetz said moving forward "it's about driving more penetration in those markets." The latest is a matchup with Disney and HBO's parent Warner Bros Discovery , whose flagship streaming service is called Max.

☆ Shari Redstone is playing M&A war games with removal of Paramount CEO Bob Bakish

The decision to remove Bakish as CEO comes as Paramount Global closes in on a merger agreement with Skydance Media. A number of large common shareholders, including Gamco Investors, Ariel Investments, Matrix and Aspen Sky Trust have publicly criticized the deal, arguing it destroys value for common shareholders. Paramount Global shares jumped about 5% in premarket trading Monday. Typically, Paramount Global shareholders, such as Gabelli, would compare an offer to the standalone company's prospects — hence his comments about not seeing a sale at all. But by removing Bakish, Redstone and the Paramount Global board are now throwing the status quo into chaos.
