For the record, here's how much each leading streamer's parent company is valued at on the stock exchange. I'm pretty surprised at WBD and Comcast - I expected Disney to be ahead of Comcast and WBD to be worth a lot more.
Apple $3.00 trillion
Amazon $1.59 trillion
Netflix $214.98 billion
Comcast $176.82 billion
Walt Disney $166.47 billion
Warner Brothers Discovery $28.04 billion
Paramount $10.01 billion
AMC $1.21 billion

WBD hired a Original productions chief for Max that covers Italy which is a Sky territory as part of their new Southern Europe team

Certain content may well be shared, Sky apparently have life Of series rights to House Of Dragon non exclusively , I suspect Sky will want to keep showing HBO documentaries & Warner Bros movie premieres aswell for example
I'd prefer if they kept the Discovery+ name & 'upgraded' to MAX technology platform but they seem intent on this name unless threatened with Legal action like the Netherlands/Belgium.
Max in France will stream Eurosport live for example

Amazon, Apple and Comcast's valuations will be held up somewhat by their other operations (retail, tech and as a cable operator in the US). Netflix valuation is out of step with its revenue, profit and debt levels - there's no real underlying asset. Disney have decades of content, theme parks, etc.
Everyone else is nowhere.

I was suprised to learn WBD actually acquired all of Blu TV in Turkey so will likely get rebranded as MAX
