In meeting with FCC officials, Skydance's David Ellison promised that CBS's "editorial decision-making reflects the varied ideological perspectives of American viewers."

Brendan Carr says he's "pleased" with the David Ellison led-studio's commitment to appoint an ombudsman and end DEI at Paramount

The US FCC has approved the merger of Paramount Global and Skydance Media. This deal transfers control of CBS, Paramount Pictures and other networks to Skydance. The approval follows a settlement in a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump.

The Federal Communications Commission approved the sale of Paramount Global after the buyer made pledges to showcase a diversity of viewpoints and root out alleged bias in CBS' news coverage.

Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Ron Wyden also question whether Skydance was involved in discussions to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

The chairman of the FCC says the merger will ‘enable CBS to operate in the public interest and focus on fair, unbiased, and fact-based coverage.’

Liberal lawmakers asked David Ellison, chief executive of Skydance Media, which is set to merge with CBS owner Paramount, about alleged promises on conservative ad content.

If it were, say, just a decade ago, cachet and power would be conferred on Skydance founder and CEO David Ellison, the soon-to-be chief of Paramount and its once-holy grail of TV news, CBS. Too bad it’s not 10 years ago.

David Letterman weighed in on the “Late Show With Stephen Colbert” cancellation on Tuesday, albeit in his own very Letterman-esque way. The former “Late Show” host and originator of the CBS program posted a 20-minute compilation of clips from his show where he made fun of the network, captioning the YouTube video, “You can’t spell CBS without BS.”
