Read excerpt
For some time now, the smart money in Hollywood has said that the soon-to-be-combined Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery wasn’t big enough for both HBO/HBO Max chief Casey Bloys and Paramount streaming boss Cindy Holland.

While this would mark another sad milestone in the decline of network TV, shifting th
