OAKLAND, CALIF. — The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California has given the state’s Attorney General, Rob Bonta, a boost in his quest to derail the pending merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery with the issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order.
The action, like that seen in a Sacramento federal district court, is similar to that handed to Nexstar Media Group preventing it from fully assimilating its acquired assets from TEGNA.
The key difference in the case involving the parent of CBS News & Stations is that, unlike Nexstar and TEGNA, the Paramount/WBD deal has not yet closed.
