Paramount has agreed to several major commitments as part of its settlement with the states over the Warner Bros. merger:
• Keeping its operations in California and not selling the Paramount or Warner Bros. studio lots
• Investing an additional $300M annually in U.S. film production
• Staying true to its commitment to release at least 30 movies theatrically every year
• Establishing a third-party, independent board to oversee CNN and CBS News in order to maintain the news outlets’ editorial independence

Disney’s ABC has filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
ABC’s lawyers claim the Trump administration has “attacked ABC’s speech” on multiple occasions, including “the stories its journalists report and the viewpoints its network programs air. Over time, those attacks have escalated into express demands that ABC be stripped of its broadcast licenses because of its speech.”
The company says it's being punished for editorial decisions and news coverage and has “no alternative means to eliminate these ongoing and immediate threats other than total capitulation to the Administration’s demands."

Some top execs at Warner Bros. Discovery are privately rooting for the 12 states that have sued to block Paramount Skydance’s WBD takeover to win in court and get the merger nixed:
• Multiple sources tell Variety that there’s a sizable contingent of Warner Bros. staffers who don’t want the merger to happen
• While some hold out hope that the Paramount pact will hit a legal landmine, others have accepted that the $111B merger will go through
“We need more information… People have more questions than anything else,” says one WBD exec. “I don’t pick up on resignation as much as people just wanting to know what they’re looking at. Like, are we planning for the upfront next year?” The answer to that, the exec adds, is that “you have to — because if this does drag out, it could take a year from now” before the deal closes.

ALT The SAG-AFTRA National Board adopted a resolution today publicly opposing the Paramount Skydance acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, asserting its support of the attorneys general from a dozen states who have filed suit to block this action. The union demands that the acquisition not proceed unless there are enforceable safeguards against reduced production by the studio, with guarantees of increases in the percentage of productions made in the USA.
