Warner Bros. Discovery has named attorney Daniel E. Sanchez, the nephew of John Malone, to its board, effective Oct. 1. The board had voted at its last meeting to expand to 12 directors. Sanchez will stand for election at the 2025 annual shareholders meeting next summer. WBD said he was added as an independent director.

Warner Bros. Discovery’s deal with Charter will bring ad-supported versions of Max and Discovery+ to Spectrum cable customers at no extra charge, making obsolete the $15 add-on fee customers currently pay if they want to add Max to their cable package.

Warner Bros. Discovery is expanding its board of directors. The entertainment company says that Daniel Sanchez will join its board beginning Oct. 1. Sanchez is no stranger to Discovery shareholders, as he previously served on the Discovery board before the 2022 WarnerMedia merger that created the current company.
