...sed merger with Viacom

https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/...er/1086051001/

A reunion could benefit both companies, especially since Viacom’s cable channels have a big international footprint while giving a boost to CBS All Access. CBS and Viacom split into separate companies in 2005.

I won't doubt that SONY will buy Viacom and call it SONY/Viacom!

I feel right now after the FOX/Disney Merger, there'll be Three Major US Studios...

Disney will merge with Universal and have the whole Oswald the Rabbit library as well as Orlando, SONY will sell MGM and Warner Bros. will buy it to make the whole MGM Library complete, and SONY with Viacom...that's how I feel it'll be...

They'll probably change all the logos again, for the umpteenth time.

Let's see...Sony/CBS Program Distribution, Sony/Paramount Distribution, Sony/Viacom...what will it be?

So what exactly does this mean?

Same crap, different name?

I don't see a difference. All the same shows on different channels.
