Skydance Media LLC is facing challenges in its proposed $8 billion merger with Paramount Global due to a rival bid from Project Rise Partners, which has made a late $13.5 billion offer. Skydance alleges that Project Rise misrepresented its financing in an attempt to disrupt the transaction. Meanwhile, a New York federal judge has granted preliminary approval for a settlement involving Paramount and Comedy Central, which will pay $11 million to comedians over allegations of improperly withholding royalty payments.
