Apollo along with many of Private Equity Firms looking to buy Paramount owner National Amusments

What the?? No idea what this means.
A little advice: Don't drink or take drugs and post.
What does that mean?
I know, right? Glad it's not only me who can't make heads or tails out of some of these posts.
Probably that there will only be one major broadcaster. That’s what I take from it.
i don't take drugs and alcohol, i have a big imagination for a bad case scenario like that
Just like with The Disney-Fox Merger, there might be mergers everywhere until only 1 can dominate the others, i have a really big imagination for predicting the media landscape
Suuuuure, that's what they all say.
If only your imagination could type something that made sense. Some proper syntax, punctuation, and capital letter use would also help.
Annnnnnd it's off again

Paramount’s Deal With Skydance Falls Apart
There were several hitches in the last week as Skydance, Paramount and its parent company, National Amusements, reached the final stages of negotiations
The questions continue to circulate as to what’s next…

What’s Next For Paramount After Skydance Merger Talks Fail
Shari Redstone will consider selling her ownership stake in Paramount, simpler than the merger transaction proposed by Skydance as that deal dies.

What a disaster. What is missing in that article is any ideas that might improve value. They have none. They're a bunch of accountants talking about debt and money. That's why the stock crashed. The only hope is for maybe another Mission Impossible from aging superstar Tom Cruise. The broadcasting and cable businesses are in the crapper. Sheri already blew her load by combining CBS and Viacom, and the result was a huge thud. And then things got worse. So my take is this when the vultures fly in and rip away as the assets of what was once a great company.
This is pretty much reeks of a similar clusterf**k to Standard General/TEGNA. So much talk of a sale/merger happening, but at the end of the day, nothing happens.The questions continue to circulate as to what’s next…

The difference is the proposals of either Apollo nor SkyDance didnt sent approval request to the FCC in case of involving the CBS News and Stations unit.
You're right. The Sale of TEGNA to Standard General was turned down by the FCC. The Paramount merger talks died in the negotiation phase. Completely different circumstances.
Given the state of traditional media and broadcast and the lack of future therein, it doesn't surprise me at all that a potential suitor would get cold feet and back out. It's potentially a lot of debt to be acquired when media stocks continue to slide. In other words; the valuation of media stocks isn't going up anytime soon, so there's no way an acquiring/merging business can see a bright future for such a merger.

Paramount Shares Dip On Report Sony “Rethinking” $26 Billion Bid

ABC OTA keep on promoting HULU as where to watch their programs. Same with Paramount.
Do they make more off of the streaming than the traditional OTA? Usually barring macro economics messing and entire industry, usually if one company falters, some other company (s) gain it's business. Where has the business for Paramount gone?
