Skydance, Paramount dismiss objections to planned $8.4 billion merger

(Reuters) – Skydance Media and Paramount Global on Thursday defended their planned $8.4 billion merger, urging the Federal Communications Commission to dismiss opposition from critics, calling them “unwarranted” and “meritless”.

The Center for American Rights, a nonprofit public-interest law firm, petitioned the FCC (BME:FCC) in December to block the merger, citing concerns about foreign influence on U.S. media stemming from China’s Tencent Holdings (OTC:TCEHY)’ investment in Skydance.

In a filing with the FCC, the companies described petitions from the group and other critics, including LiveVideo.AI and Fuse Media, as “procedurally defective” and lacking merit.

“Neither party identifies any transaction-related harm that could merit denying the applications or imposing conditions,” the companies said.

The filing dismissed concerns from LiveVideo.AI over competition, calling its claims of a “rigged sales process” irrelevant to the FCC’s regulatory role.

The Center for American Rights and Fuse Media did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. LiveVideo.AI could not be immediately contacted.

David Ellison’s Skydance struck a deal with Paramount in July 2024 to combine the two media houses in a complex two-step process, ending months of discussion and speculation about the future of one of Hollywood’s oldest studios.

The merger is expected to close in the first half of this year.
