== History ==

=== WarnerMedia EMEA === '''As Turner Broadcasting System Europe'''

In 1985, Ted Turner launched a European division in London, England,<ref>{{Cite news |agency=Reuters |date=1993-03-09 |title=Europe Plan By Turner |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/03/09/business/europe-plan-by-turner.html |access-date=2022-04-28 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> which would reach across the Middle East and African regional feed.<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=2001-04-16 |title=The Lost Tycoon |url=http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2001/04/23/the-lost-tycoon |access-date=2022-04-28 |magazine=The New Yorker |language=en-US}}</ref>

In August 2004, Turner Broadcasting System Europe announced they were planning to transmitter its European entertainment networks in-house starting in January 2006, with them establishing a new broadcasting facility based in Great Marolobough Street in London<ref>{{cite web|title=Turner to take Euro transmission inhouse|url=https://www.c21media.net/news/turner-to-take-euro-transmission-inhouse/|website=C21Media|date=August 9, 2004}}</ref>

In July 2006, Turner Broadcasting System Europe had established its production arm based in London, England to handle its own original content for its global networks worldwide.<ref>{{cite web|title=Turner Broadcasting Launches U.K. Original Productions Arm|url=https://worldscreen.com/turner-broadcasting-launches-u-k-original-productions-arm/|website=World Screen|date=July 21, 2006}}</ref>

'''Rebranding as WarnerMedia'''

In 2019, Turner EMEA would be moving to its new headquarters in Old Street, Shoreditch, London. The new headquarters would have more office space, allowing room for the company's European operations to expand, and a brand new custom-built CNN newsroom.<ref>{{cite web |title=Turner Europe, Middle East And Africa's New Headquarters From January 2019 |url=https://www.regularcapital.com/2017/12/turner-europe-middle-east-and-africas-new-headquarters-from-january-2019/ |access-date=6 January 2018 |website=RegularCapital: Cartoon Network International News |publisher=RegularCapital/Turner Broadcasting System Europe (Press Release)}}</ref> The remaining division was later rebranded as WarnerMedia EMEA by 2020.

=== Discovery Networks EMEA === It started out with the launch of the Discovery Channel in Europe in 1989. In mid-2007, Discovery Networks Europe was split into two separate branches, Discovery Networks UK and Discovery Networks EMEA,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.digitalspy.com/media/a42002/discovery-splits-uk-and-emea-operations/|title=Discovery splits UK and EMEA operations|date=January 24, 2007|publisher=Digital Spy}}</ref> with the following: localised branches Discovery Networks Deutschland, Discovery Networks Benelux, Discovery Networks Nordic, Discovery Networks Italia and Discovery Networks EMEA (which served all other territories).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/paxton-steps-down-as-discovery-splits/118496.article|title=Paxton steps down as Discovery splits|date=January 23, 2007|publisher=Broadcast|access-date=April 8, 2022}}</ref> Again in 2011, Discovery Networks Europe was split into two key branches Discovery Networks Western Europe (DNWE) and Discovery Networks CEEMEA (Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa).

In November 2014, Discovery Networks Western Europe was split into Discovery Networks Northern Europe and Discovery Networks Southern Europe. Its previous Discovery Networks Western Europe served 30 countries including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, France, the Netherlands and other territories, comprising 18 brands.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://corporate.discovery.com/media/uploads/pdf/west-facts-1Q11.pdf |title=Western Europe |website=Discovery |access-date=11 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110813010054/http://corporate.discovery.com/media/uploads/pdf/west-facts-1Q11.pdf |archive-date=13 August 2011 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
