Marea Britanie aprobă preluarea Warner Bros. Discovery de către Paramount, într-o tranzacție de 110 miliarde de dolari

The UK Competition and Markets Authority approved the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance, valued at $110 billion, determining it won't significantly impact competition. The UK government will not intervene as Paramount committed to maintaining programming and news services. The CMA's investigation found that despite becoming the largest film distributor in the UK, the new entity will face strong competition from Universal, Disney, and Sony. The CMA also noted that competition in children's TV channels and subscription streaming services will remain robust, with alternatives available. The decision follows approvals from the European Commission and the US Department of Justice, although a lawsuit in the US is pending.
