  That's when the deal was arranged between the companies. It was just approved by the government. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/12/att-time-warner-ruling.html https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/12/att-time-warner-ruling.html

  That's when it was originally published, it was just approved... and is still AT&Ts "go to" page for the information. Additionally, you can see their "applauding of the courts" here: http://about.att.com/story/court_rules.html http://about.att.com/story/court_rules.html ... and now excuse me while I try to figure out what the remaining horcruxes are so I can destroy them, and stop it (MA Bell) from coming back to power /s

  The article is probably the original announcement. The merger was approved today [1]. https://www.wsj.com/articles/judge-is-set-to-decide-whether-at-t-and-time-warner-can-merge-1528832942 https://www.wsj.com/articles/judge-is-set-to-decide-whether-...

  Because it's from 2016, that's when the acquisition was originally announced (check the internet archive). The real news is that the court just approved the acquisition: http://about.att.com/story/att_to_acquire_time_warner.html http://about.att.com/story/att_to_acquire_time_warner.html
