AT&T won the right to complete its $85 billion takeover of Time Warner, which includes various media properties such as DC Entertainment and HBO, after US District Judge Richard Leon on Tuesday declined the Justice Department's request to block the deal.

AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson argued the company's proposed $85.4 billion takeover of Time Warner is necessary to compete against companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Google.
