- Paramount CEO David Ellison argued the lawsuits target his CNN ownership rather than antitrust law, though Bonta maintains the legal action seeks to prevent an 'illegal level of concentration' in film and cable markets.

- A federal judge set the antitrust trial for March 2027, meaning Paramount will incur around $650 million in 'ticking fees' per quarter starting October 1 until the merger deal is resolved.
