Warner Bros Discovery Shareholders Approve $110B Paramount‑Skydance Deal
Warner Bros Discovery shareholders approved a $110 billion merger with Paramount Skydance, clearing a major corporate vote. The deal would combine Warner Bros Discovery’s assets, including CNN, with Paramount’s studio library and Skydance’s production capacity, creating a single company spanning news, film and streaming. The approval came as several members of Congress protested a David Ellison-hosted dinner honoring President Trump, saying the event raised concerns about access and conflicts while lawmakers and regulators evaluate the transaction. If regulators sign off, the merged company would significantly concentrate U.S. media ownership and reshape how TV, streaming and news are distributed and monetized.
While I don’t like the Ellisons and what they’re doing at Paramount Skydance, I don’t want Paramount the STUDIO to shut down just because I dislike the Ellisons. They just need to not merge with WB and focus on exciting films again. This studio and its legacy deserve better.
Max Twogood9I just hope that at some point in the next few years, Paramount gets sold to a better owner.
Walker Riley6Studios come and studios go. We've lost many other great legacies for less.

Blueboiii2All the chicanery caused by the Ellisons makes me miss the Brad Grey era of Paramount.
JoshuaTheRedEngine2Exactly what I'm thinking. If D. Ellison were MORE COMPETENT, should I put it, I believe we'd have less problems than we currently do.

KaminoKatie2I feel like Paramount’s animation department is cursed the moment they did a hostile takeover of Fleischer Studios back in 1941
