For more than a century, Warner Bros has been one of Hollywood's biggest players, a legacy studio that helped define the Golden Age of cinema with iconic blockbuster movies. Now, it's at the centre of a contentious, billion-dollar bidding war between Netflix, the world's leading streaming platform, and Paramount Skydance, owned by the powerful Ellison family, which has close ties to President Trump. Whichever way this goes, the outcome isn't looking great. Contributors: Matt Craig - Reporter, Forbes Daheli Hall - Writer and director Lee Hepner - Antitrust lawyer Dominic Patten - Executive editor, Deadline On our radar This week, Australia became the first country in the world to impose a social media ban for children less than the age of 16. The Australian government says it is taking on Big Tech and safeguarding children, but some young people were able to quickly bypass the new rules. Ryan Kohls reports. The Imran Khan rumour mill Despite being in jail for more than two years, Imran Khan continues to occupy airtime in Pakistan. After the army restricted access to Khan, rumours of his death ricocheted across social media.  Pressure from his supporters and family forced the military to lift the restrictions and grant Khan's sisters access to speak to him. Meenakshi Ravi reports on the showdown between Imran Khan and powerful Field Marshal Asim Munir, and what it reveals about power, politics and narrative control in Pakistan.

durée : 00:05:25 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Catherine Duthu - Le groupe de télévision et de cinéma Paramount Skydance surenchérit sur Warner Bros Discovery, valorisé 108,4 milliards de dollars, pour contrer Netflix. Paramount s'appuie notamment sur l'Arabie saoudite, les Émirats arabes unis et le Qatar qui cherchent à devenir des acteurs médiatiques majeurs.

Would this ruin your vacation? Also, who will win the Heisman trophy? We talk about Paramount announcing a potential hostile takeover of Warner Brothers Discovery, the Golden Globe nominees, and lots more!

SEC Announces It Will Not Respond to Most No-Action Requests for Rule 14a-8 Shareholder Proposals.Government shutdown - the staff claimed they COULDN'T respond because after the shutdown, they had too much other work to do: “current resource and timing considerations following the lengthy government shutdown and the large volume of registration statements and other filings requiring prompt staff attention.” It just happens to coincide with Atkins saying there shouldn't be shareholder proposals, that's just a coincidence.John Cheveddan and Jim McRitchie - let's be honest, if it weren't for Cheveddan and McRitchie over 3 decades, we'd have less shareholder rights, and companies would not be such big whiners about “woke” shareholder proposals. Guys, you ruined it for all of us with your attention to democracy.Woke ESG shareholders like As You Sow, Arjuna, Trillium, and nuns - if we're honest, the nuns and SRI crowd might have been the straw, right? I mean they're putting in proposals that MAKE Exxon sue them! How dare they ask for carbon scope 3 emissions data!Antiwoke shareholders like NCPPR and Jesus - excluding Cheveddan/McRitchie, the highest volume of shareholder proposals have actually been the ANTI-woke filers, asking for things like a report on how companies will stop funding trans conversions (or one actual one where they asked about the reputational risk of NOT supporting un-trans-ing). Some of the proposals are so comically stupid, but the companies have to respond using third party lawyers and do the whole thing - maybe National Legal whatever center for whatever is the REAL straw?ISS and Glass Lewis - this was like 90% of what they did, since they certainly didn't suggest voting against any directors unless an activist was involved. So when Ramaswamy and Musk and DeSantis and Texas declared proxy advisors woke activists, it was hard to deny since they didn't do any work to vote out directors - just offer customers whatever voting pablum they wantedBlackRock and investors who never voted anywayOther - Atkins and Manhattan institute - lobbyists, administrationPepsi to cut product offering nearly 20% in deal with $4 billion activist ElliottPepsiCo said it also plans to accelerate the introduction of new offerings with simpler and more functional ingredients, including Doritos Protein and Simply NKD Cheetos and Doritos, which contain no artificial flavors or colors. The company also recently introduced a prebiotic version of its signature cola..WHO DO YOU BLAME?Pepsi CEO Ramon Laguarta - CEO since 2018, 21% influence, 43% connected to the board (so they're basically all known entities), has overseen basically zero shareholder value increase in the last 5 years, overall .513 TSR batting average - what has he been doing? Did he put a sign on the door begging an activist to come hang?Activist Elliott Management - Paul Singer is notorious as a real foodie… wait, no, sorry, he's known as a “vulture capitalist” who helped oust Jack Dorsey from Twitter because he didn't want him to hang in Africa, but was happy to have Elon Musk (who has five jobs) take it over. In 2021, he did take a 3% stake in Ahold Delhaize, a grocery store owner, so he's probably had a protein shake sprinkled on Doritos before?Pepsi's board - first of all, it's 14 people, which is like 7 people too many. Second - 4 finance types? Two pharma/med types? There are more people who know medicine than food - only ONE agribusiness repped on the board (Bunge) with the only other food production from Pepsi or ex-Pepsi execs? There are three directors on the nom committee with 10+ years on the board, and the other two have.. 9 years. Vasella has been there 23 years - time for some turnover.Roberto P. Martínez (International Chief Commercial Officer and CEO of New Revenue Streams) and Tara Glasgow (Executive Vice President and Chief Science Officer) - someone needs to be held responsible for Doritos Protein and Simply NKD CheetosJimmy Kimmel signs ABC extension through 2027Most of Kimmel's recent renewals have been multiyear extensions. There was no immediate word on whose choice it was to extend his current contract by one year.WHO DO YOU BLAME?Bob Iger - he yanked Kimmel to kiss Brendan Carr's ass and the affiliates, then put him back on when subscribers cancelled, then convinced affiliates to re-air, all because Kimmel said conservatives really didn't want Kirk's killer to be conservative? Now Kimmel is EXTENDED? It has to be the dumbest series of events since “Don't Say Gay” bill in Chapek's era, right?Disney's board - these are well known directors in the bag for Iger, and Iger would not even be CEO again if not for them. Susan Arnold, who at the time had more influence on the board than Iger, was chair of the nominating committee, had Mel Lagomasino and Derica Rice on with her, all went with Iger's hand picked choice of Bob Chapek. Arnold left the board, but both Rice and Lagomasino stayed behind to help choose… Bob Iger to return? Then brought on James Gorman, who hand picked HIS successor, to lead succession with Bob Iger again? Is anyone doing a job on this board? ISS - when Nelson Peltz took his Ike Perlmutter borrowed stake in Disney in 2024, ISS sided with Peltz and suggested voting out Mel Lagamasino because she was the longest tenured director and “responsible” for Disney's failed succession. In 2025, after Peltz lost and no one cared, ISS backed Lagamasino. With analysis like that, it's no wonder Disney can bow to the Trump Administration since there's no way ISS will actually suggest changing the board unless an old racist takes a stake.Brendan Carr - is this just a finger in the eye of Carr, the FCC, and the angry conservative affiliates by Iger? Is this Disney's way of being woke now?Other - Baby Doll Dixon, Jimmy Kimmel's agent - should have gotten him a 10 year deal with a player option out. Optically way better, gets bought out if they fire him.Trump says Netflix, WBD deal could be 'problem' as son-in-law Kushner backs Paramount bid“I'll be involved in that decision too,” Trump said days after Netflix agreed to buy WBD's film studiosParamount revealed in a regulatory filing that its hostile bid for WBD bid is being backed by Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is a former White House advisor - and every Middle Eastern sovereign fund, as well as over $40bn by Larry Ellison (and David Ellison committed to spend more in a text to co-CEO Ted SarandosWHO DO YOU BLAME?Larry Ellison - without daddy's $40bn (and more - what's $40bn when you have $269bn in net worth and own an island in Hawaii), there is no deal - literally no deal, this is pure nepo - THE OLIGARCHYMiddle Eastern sovereign funds - I mean, they're involved in EVERY major deal of a conservative figure (Musk/Twitter, Musk/Grok, Ellison/Paramount, Ellison/TikTok, Trump/Air Force One) and are backing another consolidation. Is this the greatest capitalist manipulation ever? Dictator capitalism?Robby Starbuck - he claimed “victory” in the Skydance acquisition terms for killing DEI at Paramount, used the opportunity to lick the boot of Brendan Carr, who is almost guaranteed to investigate Netflix given their wokeness. Somehow it's all Robby Starbuck's fault, right?WBD chair Sam Di Piazza - a near lifer at PwC as an accountant until he want to Citi as an i-banker for a stint, served on AT&T's board… an ACCOUNTANT is running the show! No one has heard of him, he's not in any of the news, but ostensibly he (and the board) approved the Netflix deal after dealing with Baby Ellison. The board is the only group that gets all the bids, compares them, and ultimately decides what to agree on and send to shareholders. If they chose Baby Ellison to avoid him throwing a temper tantrum to daddy, there's no hostile takeover and conservatives can rejoice in owning all of media, right? Snap appoints Arlo CEO Matthew McRae to board of directorsPrior to his current role as CEO of Arlo Technologies, which he has held since August 2018, McRae served as Senior Vice President of Strategy at NETGEAR and as Chief Technology Officer at VIZIO for over seven yearsWHO DO YOU BLAME?Evan Spiegel - he owns 53.1% of voting power - there is no one else to blameRobert Murphy - he owns 46.4% of voting power - what if he doesn't like Matt McRae? Do they resort to a thumb war? Who are we kidding, it's still Evan Spiegel's faultInvestors, who, for whatever reason, have OK'ed the idea of dual class shares such that Spiegel and Murphy own 99.5% of the voting power and less than 8% of the economic interest - while Fidelity owns 14.6% of the shares that control 0% of the overall vote. It was banned from index inclusion because the shares had NO voting rights - but somehow Meta is ALLOWED on every index because you have voting rights even if you can NEVER EVER WIN as Zuck owns control. What's the fucking difference??Worst CEOs of the Year Evan Spiegel of Snap

問：Netflix 與 Paramount Skydance 對 Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD) 的收購方案有何主要差異？答：Netflix 提出的是現金加股票的方案（估值約 27-28 美元），計劃保留 IP（如 Harry Potter、DC）並整合 HBO 內容，但會將電視網絡資產（如 CNN、Discovery）拆分出售。Paramount Skydance 則提出每股 30 美元的全現金收購，並承諾保持公司完整，不進行資產拆解。問：為什麼講者認為 Paramount Skydance 的 30 美元現金方案存在隱憂？答：儘管現金方案對股東看似吸引，但 Paramount Skydance 本身市盈率極高且依賴槓桿收購（Leverage Buyout），資金來源包括 Ellison 家族與沙特基金等。這種高負債模式可能耗盡公司未來的現金流，且其傳統的發行商業模式被認為已過時，缺乏增長潛力。問：這場併購案涉及哪些政治因素？答：Paramount Skydance 的收購方與 Donald Trump 有密切聯繫（如 Ellison 家族與 Trump 女婿 Jared Kushner）。Trump 甚至公開表示會介入 Netflix 的收購案，這引發了關於利用反壟斷監管（FTC/DOJ）進行政治干預的擔憂。問：Netflix 提出的「分手費」有何戰略意義？答：Netflix 在方案中包含了約 50 億美元的分手費。這顯示 Netflix 預見了監管機構可能以反壟斷為由否決交易的風險，希望藉由高額賠償金來說服 WBD 股東即使面臨審查風險，仍願意接受其收購方案。問：從商業模式的角度，講者如何評價這兩間公司的前景？答：講者認為 Netflix 代表未來的串流訂閱模式，透過持續製作新內容來維持用戶黏性與現金流；而 Paramount Skydance 仍依賴傳統的「多次銷售」模式（院線、電視、DVD），這種模式在過去幾年的股價表現中已被證明缺乏增長動力。 This is a public episode.

On today's podcast:1) The US president’s son-in-law. One of the largest alternative-asset managers. The CEO’s father who fleetingly commanded a fortune exceeding Elon Musk’s. Paramount Skydance Corp.’s hostile takeover bid Monday for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. brought together an array of banks, billionaires and sovereign-wealth funds, all with the aim of torpedoing Netflix Inc.’s deal last week.2) President Donald Trump granted Nvidia Corp. permission to ship its H200 artificial intelligence chip to China in exchange for a 25% surcharge, a move that lets the world’s most valuable company potentially regain billions of dollars in lost business from a key global market.3) Stocks wavered and US bond yields softened from a two-month high as traders held off on making big bets ahead of the Federal Reserve’s final interest-rate decision of 2025. S&P 500 futures were little changed after the US benchmark halted a four-day rally. A dayslong slump in US Treasuries has curbed risk appetite as traders grow cautious about the pace of rate cuts beyond Wednesday’s policy meeting.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In our news wrap Monday, Paramount Skydance launched a hostile all-cash offer directly to Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders just days after a deal was formed with Netflix, President Trump's former personal lawyer resigned as acting U.S. attorney in New Jersey, Syria marks one year since a rebel uprising toppled dictator Bashar al-Assad and some students abducted in Nigeria were freed.

In a CNBC Exclusive: David Faber interviewed Paramount Skydance Chairman & CEO David Ellison, whose company announced a tender offer to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery for $30 per share in cash. The hostile offer comes after Netflix won a bidding war and agreed to buy Warner Bros. assets. Ellison explained why he believes Paramount's offer is superior to that of Netflix, better for WBD shareholders and Hollywood — and more likely to pass regulatory muster. He also sounded off about the WBD sale process. David, Sara Eisen and Michael Santoli discussed stocks' upward momentum ahead of this week's Fed rate decision.

Seema Shah dissects both bids for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). Netflix (NFLX) would get “deeper IP” and “tentpole content” they can use to expand audiences, merchandising, gaming, and more. “It would make them the behemoth,” she adds. For Paramount Skydance (PSKY), it would boost its viewership to levels rivaling Disney+ and help them grow.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Het is officieel: ASML is het beurslievelingetje van Nederland geworden. Het stoot Shell van de troon als meest populaire aandeel in de beleggingsportefeuille. Onder de leus 'never sell Shell' maakte de oliereus in de afgelopen 25 jaar een koersstijging van precies nul procent door. Dus gaat het er bij ASML dan anders uitzien? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Dan hoor je ook of die portefeuille verder een beetje op orde is. En of Nederland Spaarland ook het archief in kan. Want voor het eerst hebben Nederlanders meer dan 200 miljard euro in hun beleggingen zitten. Verder hebben we het over Warner Bros Discovery. Dat gooit het verkoopbord wel heel duidelijk in de voortuin nu. Concurrent Paramount Skydance heeft al verschillende keren een bod gedaan op Warner Bros, maar liep telkens tegen een afwijzing aan. En nu laat Warner Bros weten dat ze een krabbel zetten als er een bod van meer dan 74 miljard dollar komt. Je hoort ook nog hoe de rijksten ter wereld nog meer geld weten te slaan uit hun goudstaven. En hoe Amazon met een ouderwetse truc probeert de markt van zelfrijdende taxi's te veroveren.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The battle for Warner Bros. Discovery is seeing a new champion enter the ring, with Netflix making some moves to put their own bid in for the studio's properties. According to Reuters, the streaming pioneer engaged with investment bank Moelis & Co. in order to prepare an offer. Ironically, this is the same bank that worked with David Ellison at Skydance to take over Paramount whose first bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery was rejected. It was the worst weekend at the box office this year, with ticket sales coming in at just $52.4 million. This also makes it the lowest-grossing Halloween weekend in 31 years, excluding theater closures due to COVID in 2020. While new film Regretting You took in a respectable $50 million, Black Phone 2 really has the crown from the weekend having now brought in $104 million globally - another huge win for horror this year. Yorgos Lanthimos' new film Bugonia, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, is sitting at a small $11.1 million globally after breaking into more theaters.Both Scream 7 and Stranger Things Season 5 released trailers recently. Stranger Things' official trailer showed us a bit more of what to expect from that property and Scream 7, which releases on February 27, 2026, gave us a glance at the returning original cast members of Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, and David Arquette.

For the past couple of months, the billionaire father-son duo of Larry and David Ellison have been making deals involving major media brands. Having acquired Paramount, the parent company of CBS News, they appointed Bari Weiss - an outspoken supporter of Israel - as the network's editor-in-chief. The moves by the Ellisons are not just about growing their media empire, but about shaping the narrative around Israel in the US, where public support continues to decline.

And he's been amplified by the country's mainstream media, who have been chasing ratings over accountability.  Ryan Kohls reports.
