Paramount Global organizes its vast media portfolio into three main divisions: TV media, direct-to-consumer (streaming), and filmed entertainment, which includes the iconic Paramount Pictures studio. Its television assets span CBS and cable networks like Comedy Central, MTV, Showtime, and BET. The company also operates and licenses its content internationally. In 2024, Skydance Media announced an $8 billion deal to acquire Paramount by first purchasing parent company National Amusements. The two-part transaction is expected to close in 2025, pending regulatory approval.
