first brought together by Sumner Redstone in 1999.near its current market cap of $12 billion — meaning that the acquisition premium was already reflected in Viacom’s share price after months of merger speculation.
CBS’ previous management regime led by former chairman-CEO Leslie Moonves had balked at the prospect of a reunion — so much so that the CBS board filed a lawsuit against Redstone in May 2018. The push by Shari Redstone to bulk up CBS and Viacom comes as both companies have been dwarfed in size and scope by the tech giants who have barrelled into media in the past few years.

CBS and Viacom Strike Deal for Long-Thwarted MergerCBS and Viacom agreed to merge in a deal that would reunite mogul Sumner Redstone’s media empire in the hopes of creating a more formidable competitor to the entertainment industry’s giants.

The company literally pushed people out, gave them fake Development Deals for shows they'll never buy. A corporation built on revenge.
