Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery to become Skydance
The roughly $110 billion deal is expected to close October 6.
The Hill
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on David Ellison’s naming announcement for the combined Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery company, with CNBC and The Verge agreeing that the new name will be Skydance. The Verge adds that Ellison framed the choice as giving the combined company its own identity and says the merger is expected to complete next week, details not present in CNBC’s brief. CNBC instead emphasizes the company’s recent acquisition history, which The Verge does not foreground.
