Demand Paramount Skydance Corporation not to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery
Demand Paramount Skydance Corporation not to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery
The Issue
On September 11, 2025, The Wall Street Journal reported that Larry Ellison's Paramount Skydance was exploring a bid to acquire the entirety of Warner Bros. Discovery. For me, this news struck a chord. The thought of another monumental merger looms over many of us who value diversity, creativity, and competition in the entertainment industry.
Just a couple of years ago, this nearly became our reality when the merger was initially proposed in 2023. It was a relief for many when the merger plans were cancelled at that time. Now, the threat looms once again as Paramount Skydance, having recently completed their acquisition of Paramount Global from the Redstone family, sets its sights on Warner Bros. Discovery.
The merger would give a single entity a vast majority of control over beloved studios and media franchises. This could limit consumer choices and stifle creative freedom within the industry. At a time when diverse voices and innovative content are more important than ever, this potential acquisition threatens to narrow the scope of what's possible in both television and cinema.
Moreover, consolidating such power into one corporation may lead to less competitive practices, potentially driving prices up and quality down for consumers. It's vital for the health of the media landscape to maintain a rich tapestry of competing ideas and firms.
On February 27, 2026, Paramount Skydance confirms their deal of acquiring all of Warner Bros. Discovery for $110 billion. The deal is expected to be closed by September 30, 2026 at the earliest.
We need regulatory bodies and stakeholders to scrutinize this potential acquisition critically. Warner Bros. Discovery plays a crucial role in the entertainment ecosystem, and its independence is vital for maintaining a competitive and vibrant industry.
Join me in urging those in power to reconsider and stop this acquisition before it’s too late. Sign this petition to protect the diversity and creativity of the entertainment industry, ensuring it can thrive for years to come without being hampered by excessive corporate control.
‼️Add pressure to Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery's leadership by taking the following actions to support this petition.
