  Does look like Netflix's bid will get full WBD board approval. (Who will keep the mostly linear Discovery Global Networks TV stations)

  I wonder what will the Future be for TNT Sports UK?

  Still unconfirmed.
  
  Currently if Netflix buys Warner Bros ,TNT Sports Europe becomes a paid add-on to Netflix,
  
  However Netflix may not buy TNT and it stays with Discovery Global Networks.

  
  I didn't get the impression from Paramount letter to WBD shareholders , Global Networks included TNT Sports International either
  

  Compared to Global Networks' CNN and Turner networks (which essentially lost all sports rights following the loss of NBA rights), Versant owns a robust portfolio of some of the most valuable live news and sports channels including CNBC, MS Now (formerly MSNBC), the Golf Channel and USA. Its live sports rights are contracted until ~2028-2036 and include the English Premier League, the Olympics, the WNBA, WWE, the PGA Tour and NASCAR, among others
