Paramount Signals Kids-Channel Sell-Off to Satisfy EU View on Warner Deal

Paramount Skydance says it could divest some children’s TV networks to win EU clearance for its $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, as Brussels weighs overlaps in kids channels and other competition concerns. Remedies would need to be proposed by early July for a quick initial review, with a possible phase 2 investigation if concerns persist, while UK and US regulators also scrutinize the deal; Middle East sovereign funds are financing the bid, and Paramount is aiming for a Q3 close if approvals proceed smoothly.

Big Food Goes Lean: Kraft Heinz Breakup and Kellogg Split Signal Industry-Wide Divestitures

Kraft Heinz plans to split into two separately traded companies, undoing its 2015 megamerger, while Kellogg’s split into Kellanova and WK Kellogg has preceded a wave of divestitures in the sector. With slowing demand, price pressure, and tighter regulation, consumer-packaged goods giants are shedding underperforming brands and refocusing on core assets. Bain projects about 42% of consumer-products M&A in the coming years will involve asset sales, and smaller deals with insurgent brands or private-labels are rising as the industry rethinks growth strategies. Berkshire Hathaway is reportedly considering exiting its Kraft Heinz stake, and the trend mirrors shifts seen in other industries and media, signaling a leaner, more modular Big Food landscape.
