The Paramount-Skydance Merger EXPLAINED: What It Means for CBS & Media

Update July 2025: Days after settling with Trump, CBS announced The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in 2026 — raising questions about the fallout of this merger. A follow-up video is coming soon!

What does the Paramount-Skydance merger mean for streaming, journalism, and media ownership? In this video, I break down the CBS controversy, the $20B Trump lawsuit, and what it all says about the future of news and entertainment.

As the FCC weighs whether to approve this major merger, CBS executives are resigning, politicians are pressuring media companies, and viewers like us are left wondering: who really controls what we watch?

This isn’t just about one network. It’s about how political influence and corporate consolidation threaten journalistic independence—and why that affects everyone, no matter your politics.

By the end, I’ll explain how this ties back to physical media: ownership, access, and the fight to preserve the stories that matter. Because when corporations can pull content at any time, owning the disc might be your only form of protection.

🗣 Let me know: Have you ever had a favorite show or movie disappear from streaming without warning?
