‘WITH RECENT LAUNCHES, WE ARE IN PERMANENT EVOLUTION’ Gustavo Minaker of Warner Bros Discovery, shared details about the bets that the company has had in terms of distribution, in addition to its evolution and adaptation strategies.

“The market is changing and evolving, I think we are all analyzing these changes in consumers,” said the executive, who commented that they have had big bets recently, with the launch of TNT Novelas and Adult Swim. “We visualized what streaming content we wanted to work successfully in the linear world. We will soon have the launch of Adult Swim and TNT Novelas, with entertainment for adults, it is a very big opportunity for the southern cone market.”

On the other hand, Minaker shared the expectation of the signal, emphasizing that its priority is to be able to provide a space for consumers who are looking for certain content that is no longer on screen today, “Our DC label has an important place, It will be a refresh for our linear world content. We have great leadership in each of the company’s segments.

Quality is our differentiating seal, as we always aspire for each of our original productions to be of quality and taken into account.”

Furthermore, he explained that adapting consumption formats and understanding the evolution of the industry is the best way to meet the needs of the current market. “We are in a period of transition and we must meet

the needs of each consumer. One of the big differences that the industry has had is the content creators, we have a lot of ambiguous content and I think that those of us who work behind them know that there are different moments and screens where consumers are seeing us.”

“Today we have 27 nominations for the Emmy Awards, new content and new seasons of our best series, there was an issue with the production of content due to the strike in Hollywood, which, fortunately, is now ready to be resolved,” boasted the director of distribution.

“We are constantly evolving with our recent launches, it was a successful year where we have fulfilled what the industry has required in terms of linear content,” he concluded.
