“#AT&T’s WarnerMedia<\/a> in talks to sell TMZ to Fox: report<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

AT&T is in talks to sell WarnerMedia\u2019s popular celebrity gossip site TMZ to Fox, according to a report<\/a> from The Information.<\/p>\n

The move comes as AT&T has inked a $43 billion deal to spin off its WarnerMedia entertainment division to Discovery, owner of TLC, Animal Planet and HGTV. <\/p>\n

Neither Fox nor AT&T\/ WarnerMedia returned requests for comment. <\/p>\n

Until that mega deal closes\u2014 sometime in the middle of next year \u2014 the telecom giant is required to operate on a business-as-usual basis, the report said. <\/p>\n

Over the course of the year, AT&T, led by CEO John Stankey, has focused on selling off non-core businesses to raise cash in order to pay down debt and make new investments in 5G technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aside from the Discovery deal, this year alone, AT&T has sold its anim\u00e9 streaming business Crunchyroll to Sony for about $1 billion, and it spun off its DirectTV business, selling a 30 percent stake to private equity firm TPG. <\/p>\n

In the case of TMZ, it isn\u2019t clear if the gossip site was part of the Discovery deal and if there would be any adjustments in the deal terms as a result. <\/p>\n

As for Fox, TMZ is already a known entity to the network. Its syndicated gossip show \u201cTMZ on TV\u201d airs on Fox stations. This is not the first time the Harvey Levin-founded tabloid gossip site has been rumored to be on the block. In 2017, there had been buzz that AT&T was mulling a sale of assets when it bought Time Warner.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
