California AG Challenges Paramount-Warner Bros Merger | Fresno News

California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta is blocking Paramount and Warner Bros.’ $110 billion merger, demanding the studios split their TV channels from the movie division before approval — a move sparked by a multi-state lawsuit warning of reduced competition, higher prices, and job losses. While Paramount claims the merger will boost content with 30 new films annually, states dismiss that promise as unenforceable. Both companies remain silent, and Bonta’s office hasn’t commented beyond routine hours, with a key meeting scheduled for Monday to seek a settlement.
