This is it...

After Disney acquiring most of Fox earlier this year, another big merger is gonna happen this year. Well, remerger. Viacom and CBS Corporation will now be only one company once more under the name of ViacomCBS.

Unlike the Disney-Fox deal, this merger is less controversial, since they were legally majority owned by the same company (National Amusements).

So, what do you expect with the merger? Well, for now, it will probably mean that first-run rights for Paramount films will leave Epix and move back to Showtime and CBS All Access might include content from Paramount and Viacom channels like MTV, Nick and Comedy Central soon.
