After becoming CEO and president of Discovery, Inc. in 2006, Zaslav oversaw changes in its channels, which largely shifted from education-oriented programming to reality television.[2] In April 2022, Zaslav oversaw the merger of Discovery and WarnerMedia into Warner Bros. Discovery, and later the re-naming of the streaming service HBO Max into Max.[3] He has been strongly criticized for his business decisions, including removing titles from the company's streaming platforms to avoid paying residuals and canceling nearly finished projects in order to claim tax write-offs.[4]
