Starz placed a bid for WBD's networks, which is something I didn't see coming. I imagine the board probably rejected it.
What would Starz do with all those networks?

I see WB is prepping for the split with some of these streaming channels. Especially the Adult Animation one.

This is dope and should break down another interoperability barrier between iOS and Android, allowing people to share files easier, regardless of which mobile OS they use.
So how long until Apple kills it?

Hopefully, the reruns air inside of #toonami within the same week (6 days after the premieres), so that I can ignore the Sunday premieres and watch the Toonami airings instead.
