Channels with Peter Kafka

In 2013, Netflix wanted to become HBO. Now Netflix is going to buy HBO along with the Warner Bros. Studio, in a blockbuster $83 billion deal.

Wowza. Here to talk me through this is Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw, who has been deep in the deal talks for weeks. Discussed in this one:

*Will this deal actually get past Donald Trump and U.S. regulators?

*What does this deal — a kind of deal Netflix has never, ever made in the past — tell us about Netflix today?

*What happens to my favorite HBO shows?
