Paramount Appoints Chris McCarthy Interim CEO, Considers Sale and Peacock Deal

Paramount Global is currently undergoing significant corporate changes, including the potential sale of the company. After months of mergers and acquisitions discussions, it appears that Paramount and its controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone, might proceed independently. The company recently announced the departure of CEO Bob Bakish, appointing Chris McCarthy as the Interim Principal Executive for SEC purposes. Furthermore, a new 'Office of the CEO' has been established, led by an unnamed executive, while Bakish will continue to receive a substantial salary. Amid these developments, there are multiple potential buyers, with a special committee evaluating bids, including one from Sony-Apollo. Additionally, there is speculation about a possible streaming deal with Peacock if Redstone decides to go it alone.
