(RTTNews) - AT&T Inc. (T) is in talks to merge its content assets with Discovery Inc. (DISCK, DISCA), Bloomberg reported citing people familiar with the matter.

The report said that discussions are ongoing and there is no certainty the companies will lead to a transaction.

In February, AT&T had reached a deal with private equity firm TPG Capital to make its struggling satellite TV provider DirecTV a new standalone company.
