The merger combines major brands including HBO, CBS, CNN, Nickelodeon, Showtime, DC Studios and Comedy Central. The combined company will operate as Skydance Corporation under chairman and chief executive David Ellison officially. The deal followed months of lawsuits and criticism over competition, consumer prices and potential industry consolidation.
