Paramount Skydance has made another offer to buy Warner Brothers Discovery as it seeks to trump a rival offer from Netflix to buy the company’s studio and streaming networks. Paramount, which is backed by the billionaire Ellison family, said it was making a direct offer to shareholders of $30 per share to scoop up the entire company, including its traditional television networks.It said its proposal was a “superior alternative” to the one from Netflix, delivering more cash upfront to shareholders and greater prospect of approval by regulators. President Donald Trump has said “there could be a problem” with Netflix’s purchase, pointing to competition concerns given the size of the companies.
