For WBD, this means an expanded distribution network and the potential to reach millions of Spectrum TV customers. On top of that, the long-term agreement favorably extends Spectrum's distribution of WBD's portfolio of linear networks, including TNT, CNN, Food Network, HGTV, TLC, Discovery, TBS, Adult Swim and Investigation Discovery.Ā
