Paramount Global says Skydance merger should close in two weeks

[LOS ANGELES] Paramount Global said on Friday (Jul 25) it expects to complete its merger with Skydance Media by Aug 7, following government approval for the US$8.4 billion deal. After the deal closes, the company will be renamed Paramount Skydance and its Class B shares will trade under the ticker symbol PSKY. Skydance CEO David Ellison is prepared to assume the helm at Paramount Skydance, home to the venerable Paramount Pictures, the CBS broadcast network, and a collection of cable television channels. The new chief executive is already confronted with questions from investors about the future of the Paramount+ streaming service, plans for Paramount's declining television assets, and forecasts for spending on content, including professional sports. 'Now that the long, drawn-out sale process is finally nearing its end, Skydance leadership is poised to take control,' wrote MoffettNathanson media analyst Robert Fishman. 'With that, the real work begins – rebuilding Paramount, addressing the critical strategic questions ahead, and charting a path towards a more sustainable and competitive future.' Announced more than a year ago, the merger will unite Paramount's prized film and TV library, including classics such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Breakfast at Tiffany's, with films it produced with Skydance, including Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning. Ellison was not available for comment. He has previously said that he plans to expand Paramount's technological capabilities, rebuild the Paramount+ platform and grow the streaming business, and reorganise the business to prioritise cash flow. A year ago, he said the team had identified US$2 billion in cost savings. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) cleared the deal on Thursday, just weeks after Paramount settled a lawsuit filed by US President Donald Trump over CBS' editing of a 60 Minutes interview with his Democratic opponent, former vice-president Kamala Harris. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself. Sign Up Sign Up The US$16-million settlement drew criticism that Paramount had effectively bought regulatory approval, with the Democratic dissenter in the FCC's 2-1 vote calling it a 'cowardly capitulation' to the Trump administration. The agency has repeatedly said its review was independent of the lawsuit. The deal marks the end of media mogul Shari Redstone's control over Paramount parent National Amusements. Redstone, long hesitant to part with the studio her late father, Sumner Redstone, acquired in 1994, relinquishes the reins of a media empire her family built over decades. As part of FCC negotiations, Skydance agreed to appoint an ombudsman to address complaints about editorial bias or other concerns at CBS. The company also pledged to end diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that Trump claimed were discriminatory. CBS News named Tanya Simon its top producer for '60 Minutes' on Thursday, replacing Bill Owens, who stepped down citing a lack of editorial independence amid Trump's lawsuit. Since announcing the deal, Paramount has undergone several changes that include internal restructuring, significant cost-cutting and management changes. CFO Naveen Chopra exited the company in June to take on a similar role at video game company Roblox. REUTERS
