Why has Paramount Skydance launched a hostile bid for Warner Bros Discovery – and what happens now? | Business | The Guardian
4 days ago - After Netflix unveiled a $82.7bn deal on Friday to acquire WBD’s studio and HBO, David Ellison, CEO of Paramount Skydance and son of the tech billionaire Larry, announced a rival $108.4bn hostile bid to take over the entire company.
Why Paramount is the WORST company, and why it's merger with Skydance is doomed to fail.
Shari has been wanting to sell/merge the brand for so long, and she had interested buyers this whole time, so she never had any incentive over the last several years to have a vision for the brand's future. Her only vision was to make billions off a sale and that remains her vision. And as long as there were entities out there willing to pay those billions, she had no need to create anything or save any of the brands associated with Paramount. But with Skydance having created mostly movies while having some successful series on various streaming platforms, all while cable is dying, yes you are probably correct that Skydance won't bother trying to save brands like MTV or Nickelodeon. I'm more curious what Skydance will do with CBS. All the cable channels are a shell of themselves. Watching those die will shock nobody. But CBS still has a very large news and sports division and I wonder if they want to keep that or sell that off. Selling off CBS Sports also includes losing your ties to the NFL (and the Super Bowl every few years), The Master's and the NCAA Tournament. Those are behemoths to lose. But also very expensive in rights fees and those aren't getting any cheaper. More on reddit.com

r/MediaMergers on Reddit: Why Paramount is the WORST company, and why it's merger with Skydance is doomed to fail.
July 8, 2025 -
I honestly think Paramount is the worst media company out there, they make Warner Bros. Discovery look good with how much L's they take. Not only did they destroy Nick and MTV. But they are completely incompetent at EVERYTHING.
Paramount is the most toxic out of the big five, they completely destroyed their reputation under Shari Redstone and haven't accomplished much of anything over the past 5 years Shari was in power. Sonic the Hedgehog is the ONLY thing that kept them from going bankrupt. Shari had no set goals, no standards, NOTHING. That could probably come from her late father Sumner who had scandal after scandal over the course of owning Paramount. I wont include their atrocious handling of copyright since that speaks for itself.
I don't think Skydance will fix them up either, if anything it's just them digging their own grave. David would most likely sell off most of it's assets and pull a David Zaslav. Destroying what little remains of this broken, dry husk of a once powerful media empire.

You realize they grew Paramount’s+ bigger than Peacock or Apple and legitimately had more shows in Nielsen’s top 20 most watched of the year than any streamer besides Netflix right?
