News that underscores that the conglomerate of Skydance-Paramount-WBDiscovery wants all the assets, and unlike the Redstones, has no interest in selling bits and pieces to reduce debt.

I can’t say I was enthusiastic about the prospect of Tyler Perry buying BET+ because it didn’t seem as if it would be large enough or have enough of an international distribution system to be viable. On the other hand, the announcement that BET+ will be ‘rolled in’ gives no comfort.

Now, I’m wondering if the Ellisons are going to want to get Simon & Schuster back.

I gotta say I really didn't expect Paramount Plus to be a major player in the streaming wars

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
