Paramount Global is currently in the spotlight as it undergoes potential sale discussions, attracting significant attention from various stakeholders. The company, controlled by Shari Redstone, is considering whether to allow investors a vote on the sale, amidst a backdrop of a 9.5% pre-market increase in its stock. Exclusive negotiations are ongoing with David Ellison's Skydance and Gerry Cardinale's Redbird Capital, although another group is also showing interest. The situation is complex, given the strategic importance of Paramount's assets in gaming, music, theatrical content, and global operations. Additionally, Apollo's involvement brings financial engineering expertise and the potential to navigate FCC rules regarding foreign ownership of TV stations.
