AI Summary

The FCC approved Paramount’s proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery after reviewing the deal’s foreign‑ownership structure. Paramount disclosed that the combined company would have 49.5% foreign ownership, with investment funds from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Abu Dhabi accounting for 38.5% of that stake. Because any foreign ownership exceeding 25% requires agency sign‑off, Paramount had petitioned the FCC for approval, which was granted.
