This is starting to feel like advertising for Netflix.
Even before they bought one of the most passed-around media companies (Warner was owned by AOL, for god’s sake), the media wouldn’t shut up about the possibility of Netflix owning things.
You are confusing WarnerMedia with Warner Bros. Warner Bros. is the movie studio, WarnerMedia is the now defunct remains of AOL TimeWarner that was bought and then disseminated by AT&T.

I’m not sure I follow.
WarnerMedia owned Warner Bros from 1990-2022. WarnerMedia was called WarnerMedia because they owned Warner Bros.
It’s the same company, since the 1970s. Kinney Corporation merged with Warner to become Warner Communications. They owned… Warner Bros.
Warner Communications became WarnerMedia. They owned Warner Bros. Source.
In 1990, they merged with Time and became Time Warner. And so on. Again, it was called AOL Time Warner because they owned Warner Bros.
You can also see it on the Warner Bros. page under “parent”
Warner merged with AOL, so you meant Warner Bros was owned by AOL not Warner. That’s what I was trying to point out.
Ah got it!
It’s honestly crazy how many companies it’s been attached to
