During the quarter, WBD's popular lifestyle, entertainment, sports and news brands - including CNN, Discovery, Food Network, HGTV, Investigation Discovery, TBS, TNT, TLC, Adult Swim and OWN - also outperformed competitors with ten nights of more than a 40 percent share of primetime cable viewing among Adults.

Attracting more than 142 million total viewers on average each month, WBD's US Networks accounted for viewing by nearly one-third of Adults who watched cable during prime.

"Our true crime series like Quiet on Set and The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks have worked well across platforms, and we've seen a similar performance with our adult animation titles like Ninja Kamui," said Kathleen Finch, Chairman and CEO, US Networks, Warner Bros. Discovery. "These big hits, along with the performance of our freshman series and live premium sports offerings, laid the groundwork for us to attract a significant share of the available nightly cable audience this quarter."
