Paramount may sell CNN to ease political pressure amid $111B Warner Bros. Discovery merger lawsuit.

Paramount Skydance faces a Sept. 30 deadline to settle a $111 billion merger deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, which includes CNN. The merger is challenged by 12 state attorneys general over antitrust concerns about film and cable market share, not CNN itself. Paramount is considering selling CNN to reduce political opposition, but this would not resolve the legal case. If unresolved, the deal incurs daily fees and could lead to a trial in March 2027, with Paramount planning to relocate operations out of California if no settlement is reached by the deadline.
