The Deal Room: A deep dive into the Paramount Global M&A deal

Today we are taking a deep dive into the ongoing M&A saga at Paramount Global, the cable, streaming, and studio conglomerate, responsible for everything from the NFL to Top Gun.

To discuss the deal, we are delighted to speak with AmplifyME Alum and Media Banking expert, Jagger Lambert, who helps us go deep into a brilliant Corporate Finance case study. 

In this episode of the podcast, we discuss:

• Who Paramount Global is – and why the founding Redstone family might well be the main influence for Succession

• Why Paramount is struggling, analysing its position in the declining cable TV market, and its loss making entry into streaming

• Is Paramount up for sale? And is it worth anything?

• Who are the potential buyers – a deep dive into Skybird (owned by Larry Ellison’s son) and Byron Allen (from the Weather Channel to a $30bn bid for Paramount!)

• How an acquisition might be structured in the context of a dual-class share structure and $16bn debt pile.
