This just in-
amid WarnerMedia’s HUGE restructuring, more possible news that parent company AT&T is looking to unload parts of the media empire that aren’t quite cutting it under their business model.
A report from The Information states that AT&T is courting Sony to possibly purchase CrunchyRoll for upwards of $1.5 billion. The outlet says three people close to the situation have confirmed this to them.
They also say that Sony reportedly “balked at” the $1.5 billion price for the anime streaming service.
At present, there has been no statements from any of the companies involved.
We’ll keep you updated.
Is AT&T Planning to Sell CrunchyRoll to Sony for $1.5 Billion?!
