About this episode
A federal judge has paused the $81 billion Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger for at least two weeks, allowing states to argue against it.
A federal judge has paused the $81 billion Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger for at least two weeks, giving twelve states—including California—time to argue it would crush competition and hurt consumers. The states, led by California’s attorney general, secured a temporary restraining order, calling it a major win and warning that consolidating Hollywood’s last two giants will lead to fewer choices and higher prices. The next step could be a full injunction blocking the deal. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
