In a holiday tradition, 13 anonymous media executives shared their predictions for the media and entertainment industry in 2025. Warner Bros. Discovery is expected to separate its linear assets, while Comcast might attempt to merge its cable companies. Fox could acquire HBO and other Warner Bros. Discovery assets. Disney’s CEO announcement might be expedited, with Dana Walden as a front-runner. NBCUniversal’s Donna Langley could also be considered for Disney’s CEO position. Jeff Bezos might sell The Washington Post due to ongoing drama. Traditional TV companies like EW Scripps, Tegna, and Sinclair Broadcast might consolidate due to declining valuations. Paramount Global, if merged with Skydance Media, might acquire Lionsgate studio. Electronic Arts could be sold to a tech giant like Netflix or Amazon. However, one executive believes that consolidation won’t solve the industry’s transition issues. Streaming services might bundle together, and ESPN’s streaming service launch could lead to the abandonment of Venu. Lastly, Lucasfilm might see a new leader as Kathleen Kennedy is in her 70s.
