08:00 - 13.08.2026


August 13, Fineko/abc.az. Paramount Skydance Chief Legal Officer Makan Delrahim stated that a potential sale of CNN remains "on the table" to settle a California-led antitrust lawsuit challenging its $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.

While the takeover has received clearances from US federal authorities, the UK, and China, the lawsuit brought by California and 11 other states represents the final major regulatory hurdle for the merger.
