News Summary:
Paramount+ subscribers filed a lawsuit on May 1, 2026, seeking to halt Paramount Skydance’s proposed purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, a transaction that attorneys general and politicians have previously discussed challenging legally. Earlier the same day, Charles Gasparino, a senior correspondent at Fox Business, suggested that David Zaslav would personally gain from the sale of Warner Bros. Discovery to Paramount and Skydance. Previously, on May 1, Congressman Sam Liccardo urged FCC chairman Brendan Carr to deny Paramount Skydance’s petition. This petition would allow three Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds and other foreign investors to acquire 49.5% of the combined company's equity following the merger with Warner Bros. Also on May 1, TNT Sports, part of Warner Bros. Discovery, announced plans to broadcast over 4000 hours of live cycling, golf, football, and tennis across May, June, and July, available on platforms including EE TV, Sky, Virgin Media, and its new streaming home, HBO Max.
