WBD Acquisition Thread

Apparently, even before the focus on the channels and streaming, the concern over treatment of news operations is also integral as well, given Skydance's mishandling of CBS News:

"She said she would do so, first, because of “the need for, to the extent that it is reasonable and practicable, a sufficient plurality of views in news media in each market for news media” in the U.K."

It astonishes me that many entities were like "Yeah, good to go." then Ofcom is the first one realizing that maybe, it isn't good to go.

It's not a final decision yet but yeah, the additional Ofcom review could be similar to the EU's separate probe on the Middle East money through their Foreign Subsidies regulation.

The European Commission could rule on one direction to go but yet the EU's foreign funding review could diverge with another direction.
