Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery merge in $81B deal, forming new media giant Skydance.

The $81 billion merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery has officially closed, creating a new media powerhouse called Skydance. This combined company now owns major film studios, streaming platforms HBO Max and Paramount+, news outlets CNN and CBS News, and sports channels like CBS Sports and TNT Sports. The merger faced antitrust challenges but was approved after Paramount committed to spending an additional $1.5 billion on domestic production and releasing 30 theatrical films annually over the next five years. This deal reshapes the media landscape by consolidating significant entertainment and news assets under one roof.
