Sure, forcing the CEO out just before earnings calls and in the middle of negotiations to sell yourself is a look. Just not a good one.

Sure it'll be great for stocks.

Twice in one day I have to shout "what in the actual fuck?"

Apparently #paramountPlus decided to cancel Star Trek: Lower Decks, ending with the 5th season.
It's bad enough "seasons" these days are an anemic 10 episodes (if that!), and then they get cancelled while still going strong? ugh..

Sign the petition!

I'm sure he'll be fine, but goddam, Paramount kicked Jerry O'Connell out of two jobs today. :" title=":"/>

'The Talk' Canceled by CBS, Ends in December After One Final Season

CBS has canceled the long-running "The Talk," which will get an abbreviated 15th and final season this fall, before signing off in December.

👍 It's what I've done.

The last straw was #Paramount plugging commercials into the premiere of Discovery, even though I paid for the "Premium" package.

What a bunch of useless tools 🙄

I am happy we will get a fourth season of #StarTrek Strange New Worlds.

But also: Fuck you #Paramount for canceling Lower Decks.

So basically, Strange New Worlds will be the only Star Trek show going forward after Lower Deck's next season? Then I have no reason to keep my Paramount+ subscription. I will just wait for Strange New Worlds to show up on Blu-ray and buy it to watch.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been renewed for a fourth season

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is coming back for more adventures, but Lower Deck will end with season five.

^{Charles Pulliam-Moore (The Verge)}

Each one of these three merger ideas is a terrible idea.

• Peacock: It still exists?
• Max: Get ready for some serious cuts if this happens.
• Prime Video: Oh look, ads everywhere!

"Skydance would look to merge Paramount+ with a rival, such as Peacock, Max or Prime Video, and would hold onto CBS."
