HBO chief Casey Bloys addressed Warner Bros. Discovery's potential sale during a New York press event, downplaying concerns about his job and the HBO brand. He advised his team to concentrate on producing high-quality programming, stating that speculation about the company's future is a waste of energy as the process could take over a year.
