Paramount Skydance merger streaming services? Just another corporate cash grab, and we all know who’ll be left paying more for less! Why is ‘common sense’ never part of these deals? My daughter can’t even find her favorite shows without a second mortgage on the house.
So the $8 billion Paramount Skydance merger closes tomorrow, and they keep rattling on about ‘synergy’ for their streaming services. Let me tell you my common sense take from being a local viewer: they’ll hike our family bill by $8 a month, merge these platform apps into a glitchy mess, and cut half the shows we actually watch! Where’s the promise that our local news feeds won’t get axed? It’s all about Wall Street profit, not serving us regular folks. If you think I’m wrong, take a look at the last three mergers—they just reduced our choices and ballooned our costs. Cry me a river, Paramount, or just cut the cord already!
