HBO Max and Discovery Plus will be combined into a single streaming service once Discovery completes its merger with WarnerMedia.

Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels confirmed the move on Monday at the Deutsche Bank 30th Annual Media, Internet & Telecom Conference, The Variety reported.

It was the first time the company has addressed the fate of the two services.

However, the content libraries of the two services are vastly different as the technological backbone is as well, so an immediate fusion won’t be possible. But subscribers to one service could gain access to the other in the interim.

Wiedenfels discussed the possibility of a bundling approach with a single sign-on for both services as a placeholder step.

HBO Max customers pay $14.99 per month for an ad-free version of the streaming service, whereas Discovery Plus runs $6.99 and $4.99 per month for the last two versions.

Commenting on the merger, Gunnar said “One of the most important items here is that we believe in a combined product as opposed to a bundle.”

“The question is, to get to that point and do it in a way that’s a great user experience for our subscribers, that’s going to take some time. Again, that’s nothing that’s going to happen in weeks – hopefully not in years, but in several months – and we will start working on an interim solution in the meantime”, Gunnar added.
