( March 5, 2025, 15:00 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: The Skydance-Paramount deal should be "carefully" evaluated by the US Federal Communications Commission, which should "require a new, more detailed, filing from the Applicants, setting forth specific information that might substantiate their claims that the transaction is in the public interest," Project Rise Partners, a consortium of investors that argues its bid for Paramount is better than Skydance's, wrote in a letter to the FCC.
