Skydance’s David Ellison: Combined company is ‘positioned to win in every single vertical’

The reason why we went through everything that we did is because with the combination and the completion of this transaction, we are positioned to win in every single vertical that we operate in. By combining Paramount and Warner Brothers, we have the greatest content engine with marquee intellectual property. You're uniting Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, the DC Universe under the same house as Mission Impossible, Top Gun Maverick, G.I. Joe, Transformers. You're immediately getting to scale and streaming between HBO Max and Paramount Plus. over 200 million global streaming subscribers with with in addition to Pluto, 80 million monthly active users. We have an unmatched sports portfolio that includes the NFL, MLB, NHL, UEFA, uh basically PGA, just to name a few. Not to mention the Olympics internationally, and an incredibly profitable linear portfolio anchored by CBS. When you look at our prime time lineup, the NCIS night just launched 42% up basically from last year. five of the top 10 cable channels and we will transform this business.
