Warner Bros Discovery is reported to be in discussions to merge with Paramount Global:

Given what's happened within WBD since they merged I'm not sure this potential merger would be good for Paramount Global, let alone the viewers. WBD's own merger has notably seen many tax write-offs, despite some of those productions being essentially completed.

Speculating, but if this potential merger did happen I could see Paramount+ streaming service being axed. WBD's own streaming service "Max" has a name which is conveniently generic enough to probably include Paramount content. It would be interesting to see what if anything happened in the UK to Channel 5 and its sister linear channels & streaming service.
