Do you think tech companies like Apple and Amazon will buy media companies like CBS/Viacom or Sony's entertainment branch to be more relevant in the streaming wars? It does seem like say AppleTV+, despite being a trillion-dollar company, has a very meager library of content made up of mostly of pretty mediocre shows. Assuming tech companies like Apple or Amazon are serious about the streaming wars, would buying one of the traditional media companies help them? Are they taking the streaming wars seriously or is it just a lark to them? It does seem like they could buy out an existing media company, without the type of overlap other big media companies would have if they bought another media company.
I am not advocating for this, because I think the level of media concentration that we see now is creepy (I do not like Disney owning most of Fox's assets), but is a possibility that can be discussed, IMO. I think Disney is a mega-corporation and Warner Bros and Universal are owned by mega-corporations, so those would not be for sale now. So that leaves, from least powerful to most powerful: MGM, Lionsgate, CBS/Viacom, and Sony Entertainment.
