Turner Broadcasting merged with and folded into Time Warner in 1996, which in turn was acquired by AT&T in 2018 and renamed as WarnerMedia). Under AT&T, Turner Sports was transferred to a dedicated division known as WarnerMedia News & Sports.

AT&T spun-off its WarnerMedia subsidiary which merged with Discovery, Inc. to form Warner Bros. Discovery on 8 April 2022. The Warner Bros. Discovery brand was also used for Discovery's existing European and international sports assets such as Eurosport, Golf Digest and Global Cycling Network. In 2024, WBD officially rebranded the entirety of the sports division as TNT Sports in the US and UK while WBD Sports still exists in Europe. [2] [3]
