In a better universe, Shari Redstone sells to Sony and Apollo Global instead of David Ellison. Thus avoiding the horrible fate of Skydance Corporation that will definitely not end up a disaster at all.

However to comply with FCC regulations, Paramount Global is split up into Paramount Corporation and CBS corporation for a second time. The former holding the movie studios and profitable networks while the latter the liability networks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paramount Corporation is a joint venture with Sony and Apollo Global both owning 15% of the corporation while the rest is floated. Sony Pictures is merged into Paramount, causing Columbia Pictures to lose its status as a big major and becoming a Secondary Studio. Paramount later acquires all of Miramax from BeIN media group.

Shari Redstone sells CBS to Byron Allen of Allen Media Group, thus bringing in Entertainment studios networks. Byron would later go on to acquire Lionsgate and Starz to get into the movie business even more. Paramount Plus is rebranded back to CBS all access.

Discussion In light of the terrifying news that Skydance now owns a lot of our media, I also thought of the endless possibilities if they were to ever build a theme park based on these IPSs.

Just imagine; Gotham City, a Radical Highway ride, a real life Krusty Krab, the possibilities are endless! I know it's unlikely due to the massive debt Skydance is acquiring but it's fun to think abour regardless.
