Skydance staff brace for cuts after $110bn media merger

Employees at Skydance are preparing for job cuts following the completion of a $110bn megamerger that combined Paramount and Warner Bros Discovery. The deal, led by Skydance CEO David Ellison, created a global entertainment powerhouse encompassing two major Hollywood studios, TV networks like HBO and MTV, and news outlets CBS and CNN. One Skydance executive described the current mood as the calm before the storm, noting that while Ellison got what he wanted, there is now a price to pay.

How do you think massive media mergers affect the variety of shows and movies available to audiences?
