WBD in talks to merge with Paramount

Seems odd that they would do something like this through a Cable/Internet provider like Comcast when not everyone uses Comcast.
Sure, but agreements between cable providers have all kinds of agreements with streamers. I'm not sure that this would be an exclusive agreement, but maybe it is, idk. I figure streamers are going to want to be able to make agreements with multiple companies to keep their viewing audience as broad as possible.
