Not with the way that Skydance produces sequels as almost half their projects. 15 minutes ago, channel2 said: No deal has been announced yet. The deal will be confirmed this week. Just pushing this ahead of the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly Shari Redstone is still thinking it over, after all, she has the final say. That she hasn't indicated anything yet is enough to make one curious.

Megatron81 194 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I wonder if Shari Redstone will say yes to the Skydance deal which will selloff CBS & Viacom cable networks as all that Skydance wanted was the Paramount studios only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDHIll1980 13 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 It kinda makes you wonder, if CBS is sold off from Paramount, who gets the TV library? Back when CBS and the old Viacom split up, Paramount's TV library went to CBS and merged into what's still now CBS Studios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when CBS and the old Viacom split up, Paramount's TV library went to CBS and merged into what's still now CBS Studios. That won't happen though. In the CNBC article that I shared, it said, Quote "In early May, Apollo and Sony formally expressed interest in acquiring Paramount for about $26 billion, CNBC previously reported. However, Redstone has favored a deal that would keep Paramount together, and Apollo and Sony planned to break up the company, CNBC previously reported." In that case, Sony would have kept Paramount and the studios, while Apollo would have taken CBS - and likely would have started to sell it for parts like they have done with Cox stations, maybe even reorganizing Cox stations around CBS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
