WarnerMedia (formerly Time Warner Inc.), a Delaware corporation, is one of the world's largest media and entertainment companies. The merger of Warner Communications and Time Inc., effective in January 1990, along with a second merger in October 1996 with Turner Broadcasting System, built the base of the current corporation. On June 14, 2018, AT&T acquired Time Warner and renamed it WarnerMedia,[1] two days after it won an antitrust lawsuit filed in 2017 by the United States Justice Department's Antitrust division to try to block the purchase.[2]

WarnerMedia owns in 2018 three operative divisions, which operate at least partial television-related businesses.
