Is it true that Skydance Media owns Paramount following the 2025 merger?
Yes. Two reference articles state that the Skydance Media merger with Paramount Global closed on August 7, 2025, forming Paramount Skydance, which supports the claim that Skydance owns Paramount. Several other items mention the merger's approval or the combined entity's name but do not themselves state the ownership outcome.
