Paramount Skydance leadership discusses changes to Bari Weiss’s role at CBS News. The company nears its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.
Talks involve reducing Weiss’s authority over linear television. A new executive may oversee that business segment.
This shift supports organizational planning for the Warner Bros. Discovery integration. Paramount Skydance expects to close the $111 billion deal.
The company will merge its news operations with CNN. Leadership evaluations aim to find synergies across the combined entity.
