Paramount Skydance says it is prepared to sell some children’s television network assets if needed to address European Union concerns over its proposed roughly $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. Bloomberg reports the company is willing to divest parts of its kids’ TV business as a potential remedy to help obtain regulatory clearance in Europe. The move would be framed as a way to reduce competition-related risks flagged by EU authorities tied to the larger media combination. Seeking Alpha also reports, citing the same underlying reporting, that Paramount is ready to consider divesting children’s channels to win approval for the Warner deal. The reports indicate the divestiture is contingent on the outcome of EU review rather than a finalized transaction, with the company presenting possible asset sales as leverage to secure clearance. Overall, both sources agree that potential sales of kids’ channels are being considered as part of Paramount’s regulatory strategy for the Warner acquisition.
