The merger between Paramount and Skydance advances as Edgar Bronfman Jr. withdraws his competing bid, allowing the deal to close. The initial bid by Bronfman was $4.3 billion for National Amusements, which increased to $6 billion. Paramount had already committed to merging with Skydance to secure vital investments amid industry challenges. A committee from Paramount reached out to over 50 potential bidders during the “go shop” period, which has now ended. National Amusements, led by Shari Redstone, holds more than three-quarters of Paramount's Class A voting shares. The merger highlights David Ellison, Skydance's founder, as a key player in entertainment. The estimated combined value of Paramount and Skydance is around $28 billion, with a target finalization in September 2025, pending regulatory approval. Paramount, founded in 1914, is a historic Hollywood studio that has produced many classic films.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

Noticias Económicas y Financieras Los inversores hoy están mirando a Wyoming, y no es para reservar una escapada a un parque nacional antes de que termine el verano. El simposio anual de Jackson Hole organizado por la Reserva Federal de Kansas City está en marcha, y el presidente Jerome Powell subirá al escenario a las 10 a. m. ET. El tema de la conferencia de 2024 se titula "Reevaluación de la eficacia y la transmisión de la política monetaria" y podría proporcionar más pistas sobre la magnitud de la flexibilización de la política con el próximo ciclo que está programado para comenzar en septiembre. Skydance Media, que el mes pasado firmó un acuerdo para fusionarse con Paramount $PARA, acusa a la compañía de incumplir los términos de su acuerdo al extender el tiempo que tiene para negociar con otros postores. "Si bien Skydance no está ejerciendo actualmente su derecho a rescindir el acuerdo, nos reservamos el derecho de hacerlo en el futuro", escribieron sus abogados en una carta. Paramount extendió el período de solicitud de otras ofertas desde su fecha límite original hasta el 5 de septiembre, después de que Edgar Bronfman mejorara su oferta por National Amusements y una participación minoritaria en Paramount de $4.3B a $6B. Uber $UBER ha anunciado una alianza estratégica plurianual para incorporar los robotaxis Cruise de General Motors $GM a la plataforma de la empresa de viajes compartidos. En octubre pasado, Cruise detuvo las operaciones de sus vehículos autónomos en San Francisco después de que el Departamento de Vehículos Motorizados de California suspendiera sus permisos de prueba sin conductor tras un incidente de atropello y fuga. Sin embargo, Cruise dijo que planea reanudar los viajes completamente autónomos en 2024 después de mejorar su tecnología, reparar las relaciones con los reguladores y cumplir con estándares de seguridad más estrictos. El gobierno de Canadá ha ordenado a las dos principales empresas ferroviarias del país que acudan a un arbitraje vinculante para resolver sus desacuerdos con un sindicato que interrumpió el tráfico de mercancías en Norteamérica. Las redes ferroviarias Canadian National Railway $CNI y Canadian Pacific Kansas City $CP podrían reanudar sus operaciones "en cuestión de días", dijo el ministro de Trabajo, Steve MacKinnon, aunque las partes "siguen estando muy, muy distanciadas". En respuesta, CN puso fin a su cierre patronal y puso en marcha su plan de recuperación, mientras que CPKC está preparada para reanudar el servicio una vez que la Junta de Relaciones Industriales de Canadá emita su orden.

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber began the hour by breaking down the market rally following this morning's inflation data. The consumer price index held flat in May, but increased 3.3% from a year ago. Both numbers were 0.1 percentage points below market expectations, which sent stocks soaring and yields lower. After the market discussion, David Faber reported the latest around Paramount, after National Amusements stopped discussions with Skydance, ending months of deal discussions without a transaction. After the opening bells, the desk also reacted to Oracle's latest quarter. Shares of the tech company rallied on Google and OpenAI deals despite posting an earnings miss. Squawk on the Street Disclaimer

Noticias Económicas y Financieras Los inversores se están preparando para un posible doble golpe, ya que la Reserva Federal anunciará su decisión de política monetaria esta tarde, horas después de la publicación de los datos del Índice de Precios al Consumidor de mayo. "Normalmente, cuando el IPC se publica el día del FOMC, la reunión del FOMC recibe casi todo el peso del mercado", dijo el analista de Standard Chartered Steve Englander. Pero "esta vez no estamos tan seguros". La Comisión Europea impondrá provisionalmente aranceles adicionales de hasta el 38.1% a las importaciones de vehículos eléctricos chinos a partir de julio, lo que podría desencadenar una guerra comercial global, ya que Beijing ha advertido sobre represalias. La decisión sigue a la investigación antisubsidios de la UE sobre los vehículos eléctricos chinos que analizó si se justificaban aranceles adicionales. Los vehículos BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) verán aranceles adicionales del 17.4%, Geely (OTCPK:GELYF) del 20% y SAIC Motor del 38.1%. Tesla $TSLA puede estar sujeta a un tipo de impuesto calculado individualmente, señaló la comisión. Los nuevos aranceles se sumarían a los aranceles del 10% existentes en el bloque sobre los vehículos eléctricos chinos, pero aún son más bajos que los aranceles del 100% impuestos por los EE. UU. $PARA Paramount Global cayó casi un 8% cuando su mayor accionista, Shari Redstone, puso fin a las conversaciones de fusión entre su empresa matriz National Amusements y Skydance Media. El punto conflictivo en las negociaciones puede haber sido el posible voto de los accionistas sobre la transacción. Ahora se espera que Redstone persiga la venta solo de National Amusements sin intentar fusionar Paramount. Muchos compradores han expresado interés, incluido un consorcio de inversores liderado por el productor de Hollywood Steven Paul y el ejecutivo de medios Edgar Bronfman Jr., respaldado por Bain Capital. Sony $SONY y Apollo $APO estaban interesados ​​en pujar por Paramount, pero su interés parece haber decaído. Se espera que Washington amplíe las sanciones a la venta de chips semiconductores y otros productos a Rusia, dirigidas a terceros vendedores. La medida pretende interrumpir los esfuerzos de Rusia por evitar las sanciones occidentales en medio de su guerra contra Ucrania. Rusia ha estado obteniendo chips de terceros vendedores, a menudo con sede en China, para su uso en misiles. "Vamos a seguir aumentando los costos de la maquinaria de guerra rusa", declaró el portavoz del Consejo de Seguridad Nacional, John Kirby. "Esta semana anunciaremos un conjunto impactante de nuevas sanciones" dirigidas a entidades que ayudan a Rusia a adquirir bienes para su guerra. Joe Biden se reunirá con Volodymyr Zelenskyy de Ucrania en la cumbre del G7 el jueves para discutir el apoyo a Kiev. $ORCL Oracle aparece como OpenAI, los acuerdos de Google eclipsan los resultados.

Hollywood consolideert! De streamingoorlog van vorig jaar heeft diepe wonden achtergelaten bij iedereen behalve Netflix. Bovendien kost het weer flink wat rente om geld te lenen. Als gevolg daarvan verwachten experts dat er van de vijf grote studio's in Hollywood maar drie overblijven. Paramount, Warner, Disney, Universal, Sony én kleinere omstanders drinken al een tijdje koffie met elkaar om te bekijken of ze met een overname of een fusie wat meer winst uit hun contentboerderijen kunnen persen. Dat levert natuurlijk vuurwerk op. Shari Redstone bezit via haar National Amusements slechts vijf procent van de aandelen van Paramount, maar bezit door een bijzondere constructie wel nagenoeg al het stemrecht. Inmiddels is voormalig topman Bob Bakish al ontslagen na ruzie met de grootstemhouder. Blijven over: drie co-CEO's die eigenlijk niks te zeggen hebben over het bedrijf waar één vrouw maar een plukje aandelen van bezit. Twee prinsen dienen zich aan bij het hof achter films als Shrek, Titanic, The Godfather en de eerste Iron Man. Sony heeft de gigantische alternatieve vermogensbeheerder Apollo achter zich en biedt 26 miljard dollar, Skydance heeft private equity-huizen KKR en Redbird meegenomen en biedt een complexere deal aan waar al een tijdje over wordt gesteggeld. Wie wordt het? Misschien niemand. Redstone wil Paramount enkel als geheel van de hand doen. En de prachtige originele studio aan Melrose Avenue in Hollywood moet natuurlijk niet zomaar voor wat meer dan anderhalf miljard dollar van de hand worden gedaan. Maar dat zou je er wel voor kunnen vragen, zeggen analisten met een iets minder romantische inslag. Blijft over de contentbibliotheek. Wie die te gelde mag maken blijft nog even ongewis. Maar dat de structuur van welke deal dan ook meer vuurwerk, meer ruzie in boardrooms, meer ontslagen en meer steken onder water op gaat leveren? Dat is zeker. Beursnerd en Beursnerd XL Iedere werkdag iets na elf uur werpt de Beursnerd in gesprek met presentator Thomas van Zijl een blik op de AEX, waarbij hij of zij de diepgang niet schuwt. Daarnaast is er donderdag om tien voor twaalf een langere beursanalyse. Die neemt Beursnerd XL Jochem Visser voor zijn rekening.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Buying Paramount's a lot trickier than you'd expect.

Resources Norman Lear Center Are You What You Watch?: Tracking the Political Divide Through TV Preferences News Roundup CBS & Viacom strike merger deal CBS and Viacom have struck a merger deal worth about $50 billion, according to CNBC. The companies have been negotiating a merger deal for three years, which often put CBS and Viacom Vice Chair Shari Redstone at odds with former CBS CEO Les Moonves, who has since left the company mired by sexual harassment and abuse claims. The Redstone family-controlled National Amusements owns both companies. The combined entity will include CBS, as well as Viacom brands MTV, BET, Showtime, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and Paramount.  Whole Foods workers protest Amazon’s work with ICE Whole Worker, the anonymous group of Whole Foods workers seeking to unionize the Amazon subsidiary’s workforce, released a protest letter yesterday opposing Amazon’s work with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. The letter specifically calls out Amazon’s cloud support for Palantir—the mysterious company partially-owned by Trump supporter Peter Thiel that helps ICE use artificial intelligence to carry out deportations.   Federal Appeals Court rules Facebook users can sue over facial recognition You know how Facebook figures out if it’s your face in the images you post? Well, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has ruled that a class of Facebook users can sue Facebook under California law for using the facial recognition technology behind that feature. California’s Biometric Information Act requires companies to obtain consent before using the biometric data of their users. The 2015 lawsuit could put Facebook on the hook for billions of dollars.   Senator Marsha Blackburn calls out Huawei  U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn, who’s a member of the Senate’s Technology, Innovation, and the Internet subcommittee called out Huawei for allegedly implanting spyware on devices. Blackburn said the China-based company is part of China’s military industrial complex designed to spy on the United States and other countries. Huawei is still on the Commerce department’s blacklist. But last month President Trump said that he would allow U.S. companies to sell equipment to Huawei.   Democrats blast McConnell at DEFCON hacker conference Senator Ron Wyden and California Representative Ted Lieu blasted Mitch McConnell at the main worldwide hacker conference, DEFCON, last week, for McConnell’s opposition to election security. McConnell has blocked legislation to strengthen election security—stating that federal legislation to defend election systems interferes with states rights.

First, we realize that we don't know what words like dude, buddy, bro, chief, and man are called. (I looked it up after the show. They're called "colloquial vocatives"). Billionaires in the News this week: Robert F. Smith. Smith is a billionaire who makes his money by investing in enterprise software. He recently pledged to pay off all of the college debt of the Morehouse College's graduating class of 2019. That's great for them, but highly visible philanthropic gifts reinforce the idea that social problems can be meaningfully addressed informally by promoting a sense of noblesse oblige in the super wealthy. Joe makes the very good point that philanthropic giving is chaotic in the sense that it is guided by the whims and experiences of individual rich people. That's a bad way to try and fix social ills. Anyway, Smith is married to a Playboy bunny, opposes closing the carried-interest loophole, and describes his so-called philosophy as "an unusual amalgamation of laissez-faire survival of the fittest and a progressive desire to open up opportunities for the disadvantaged in the world." In many ways, then, he is a pretty typical billionaire. https://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/articles/columbia-business/private-equitys-philosopher Next, we talk about our most well-known billionaire thus far: Sumner Redstone, owner of National Amusements. National Amusements is the parent company of Viacom, CBS, and other media properties. Redstone thinks he's immortal and immune to all disease. Here's a link to the Larry King interview Joe was quoting from. It's a real treat. https://www.milkeninstitute.org/videos/view/a-conversation-with-sumner-redstone-if-you-could-live-forever-what-would-life-be-like?BackURL=%2Fvideos%2F Last, we discuss Michael F. Price, a mutual fund manager who was famous in the 80s for taking over companies and bringing in CEOs to fire everyone, raise the stock price, and create value for shareholders. His most famous exploit was when he hired "Chainsaw Al" Dunlap to run Sunbeam, a small electronics company.

Since 2009 there has been three new Star Trek movies, one new series with another four reportedly in development. Yet enthusiasm for the franchise among die hard fans is low.  What’s going on? We’ll explore what is going on in Star Trek today in this episode. What's Going on? When it comes to connected TV and film universes, Star Trek was the first franchise to do it.  Not Marvel. But that might not happen anymore.  And it all has to do with who owns Star Trek.  But trying to figure out which corporate entity owns the property can get a bit confusing. And it’s been that way from the beginning. A lot of people think Gene Roddenberry and his production company Norway were the original owners.  They weren’t. The original owner was Desilu Studios and in 1968 Paramount Pictures, itself owned by Gulf + Western, purchased Desilu and Star Trek along with it. In 1994, Viacom purchased Paramount for $9.75 Billion!  Star Trek was still controlled and operated by Paramount, the franchise essentially had a new owner. This next fact seems unrelated, but it isn’t.  In 2000, Viacom merged with CBS Corporation. Interestingly, Viacom was created by  CBS back in 1952 as the network’s syndication division. Then it was called CBS Films but was later renamed Viacom. It was spun off into its own company in 1971. Back to the year 2000, and Viacom was then owned by National Amusements.  The majority owner of that company was Sumner Redstone. In 2005, Redstone decided to break Viacom apart into two companies, essentially undoing the 1999 merger. The entity known as Viacom became CBS Corporation. It owned all TV and radio divisions, along with Simon and Schuster publishing. CBS would also own all of the television properties, including Star Trek. The head of the new CBS Corporation was Les Moonves. The second company created was a new version of Viacom.  It held Paramount studios, MTV and BET networks. Viacom with Paramount, retains the Star Trek feature film library, and according to some, the rights to make new feature films. But the exact terms of the rights, and who can do what are not clearly known.  And this is where things get a bit murky. But you needed this background to follow and understand what’s happening today.  

Director of Business Development and Strategic Intelligence for National Amusements and Executive-in-Residence for ESports at Emerson College, Kevin Mitchell discusses the meteoric rise of ESports around the world. From Fortnite and Overwatch to League of Legends and CS:GO, the burgeoning billion-dollar industry has earned the attention of spectators, players, advertisers, and even traditional sports franchises.

When CBS and Viacom split more than 10 years ago, Viacom was supposed to be the crown jewel. It had the cable networks, the media industry's money-makers. Fast-forward to today, and Viacom is floundering as millennials ditch cable TV and Paramount Pictures struggles. CBS, meanwhile, is flourishing from must-see broadcast network programming and hit shows on Showtime. Now, controlling shareholder National Amusements is calling for the two companies to explore coming together again. Bloomberg reporter Lucas Shaw and editor Crayton Harrison explain the pluses and minuses of a merger to Deal of the Week host Alex Sherman.

National Amusements, mogul Sumner Redstone's holding company, published a letter it sent to both Viacom and CBS urging the companies to merge back together. It's been a decade since the two media companies first split apart into separate entities.

TC and Kim discuss the portrayal of real-life presidents in the movies!
