Skydance Closes $8 Billion Paramount Deal After Colbert Got the Axe
Thursday, 7 August 2025 () The Skydance-Paramount merger is officially a done deal -- and it’s all going down as "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" rolls through its final season. Skydance Media, led by CEO David Ellison, closed its massive $8 billion acquisition of…

Trump WINS Big: Paramount Global and CBS have agreed to a settlement of over $30 million with Donald Trump over allegations tied to a 2024 “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris.
