David Ellison, an actor-turned-producer and son of centibillionaire Larry Ellison, will helm Paramount after its merger with his Skydance media company is complete.
The biggest hurdle will be overcoming the stain covering the deal itself after the concessions required to get it over the finish line.
In meeting with FCC officials, Skydance's David Ellison promised that CBS's "editorial decision-making reflects the varied ideological perspectives of American viewers."
David Ellison met this week with Brendan Carr and FCC staffers to discuss the Paramount Global merger which is still under agency review.
