Court to Hear Emergency Bid to Freeze Paramount-WBD Merger
TL;DR
A federal court will hear an emergency motion by about a dozen state attorneys general to temporarily pause Paramount’s merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. Judge P. Casey Pitts set a Friday 10 a.m. PT hearing on a TRO, with Paramount’s opposition due by noon Thursday; the states seek a ruling by July 22, timing that coincides with EU review, even though the DOJ has already cleared the deal.
