After finally getting approval from the Federal Communications Commission, Skydance Media is just weeks away from completing its $8-billion merger with Paramount Global, leading to sweeping changes for some of the most iconic media brands.

In just under two weeks, Paramount Global will complete its merger with the smaller Skydance Media to form “ Paramount Skydance Corp.” — and bring a rollercoaster M&A ride to its conclusion. The FCC cleared the Skydance-Paramount deal Thursday, removing the last regulatory obstacle.

Paramount Global’s merger with Skydance Media was approved by the US Federal Communications Commission, which backed the deal after the Trump administration extracted concessions on the news and entertainment company’s political coverage and diversity practices.
