Skydance is providing even more insight into its commitment to ending DEI policies and eliminating CBS News’s alleged left-wing bias.

The FCC has granted approvals necessary to clear the way for the $8 billion merger of Paramount Global and David Ellison’s Skydance Media. The agency OK’d the transfer of licenses for 28 CBS-owned local TV stations to the Skydance-led ownership group that is taking over Paramount Global — removing the merger’s final regulatory hurdle.

Skydance separately promised to appoint a CBS News ombudsman to 'promote transparency and increased accountability' at CBS News. Skydance CEO David Ellison also has met with center-right journalist Bari Weiss.
