Here is something about to rock Yakko's Universe:
The possible NBCUniversal/Warner Bros. Discovery merger!

Here is a possible rundown:
Should NBCUniversal combine with Warner Bros. Discovery, chances are that HBO Max, Peacock and Discovery+ will all combine into a single streaming service for a possible Disney+ rival and do what Zaslav could've done: make sure that every cartoon is brought to the streaming service.
And it's no secret that both the House that Bugs Built and the House that Mickey Built are celebrating their anniversaries next year.

Think of possible parallels:
Studios:
Warner Bros. Pictures = Walt Disney Pictures
Universal Pictures = 20th Century Studios
Focus Features = Searchlight Pictures
New Line Cinema = Regency Enterprises
Warner Bros. Television = Walt Disney Television
Universal Television = 20th Television
Warner Animation Group = Walt Disney Animation Studios
DreamWorks Animation = Pixar Animation Studios
Illumination Entertainment = Blue Sky Studios
Williams Street = 20th Television Animation
Warner Music Group = Walt Disney Records
Universal Parks and Resorts = Disney Parks
DC Comics = Marvel Comics
Wizarding World = Lucasfilm
Discovery = National Geographic
NBC Sports/Turner Sports/EuroSport = ESPN
Channels:
Universal Kids/Cartoonito/HBO Family/HBO Kids = Disney Junior
Discovery Family = Disney Channel
Cartoon Network = Disney XD
HBO Max/Discovery+/Peacock = Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+
HBO/TCM/E!/Cinemax = FX
Adult Swim/Syfy/G4/Toonami = FXX
TNT/TBS = Freeform
Bravo/E!/Oxygen = A&E Networks
Franchises:
Looney Tunes = Mickey Mouse and Friends
Steven Universe = Star vs. the Forces of Evil
Over the Garden Wall = Gravity Falls
Shrek or The LEGO Movie = Toy Story
DC League of Super Pets = Big Hero 6
Megamind = The Incredibles
Monsters vs. Aliens or Shrek = Monsters Inc.
Antz = A Bug's Life
Trolls = Inside Out
Harry Potter = Star Wars
The Big Bang Theory = How I Met Your Mother
How to Train Your Dragon = Brave
Kung Fu Panda = Turning Red
Animaniacs = DuckTales or Bonkers
Jurassic Park = Pirates of the Carribean
The Muppet Show = Sesame Street
The possibilities could be endless. Also, if anything, there is a lot of theme park potential that NBCUniversal could muster and one YouTuber pointed out that Universal is more responsible with its IPs. And if All Hail the Crystal Lord is correct, Cartoon Network could soon be a 24/7 channel again with Universal Kids' non-preschool programming migrating to the channel, HBO, E!, TCM and Cinemax could merge as one, TNT, Oxygen, OWN, Bravo and TBS could combine as the company's answer to Freeform, Cartoonito could absorb HBO Family, HBO Kids, TLN's Ready to Learn block and Universal Kids as the company's answer to Disney Junior and Nick Jr., DreamWorks Classics could take care of Hanna-Barbera/Ruby-Spears' portofolio and Popeye cartoons and DreamWorks Animation could give adaptations of Hanna-Barbera and DC classics a try whereas Warner Animation Group could absorb Illumination Entertainment into them and have their own in-house animation service and have its own Pixar in DreamWorks Animation according to Jordan Howell (a YouTuber I've talked to). And if it happens.....we might as well combine both Universal Studios wiki and Warner Bros. wiki for scale.
