UK May Intervene in Paramount-Warner Deal

Britain's Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said the government is 'minded to intervene' in Paramount Skydance's takeover of Warner Bros.

Discovery, citing concerns about media plurality.

The companies have until July 6 to respond before a formal regulatory referral, which could delay or even block the mega-merger.

The deal would combine two of Hollywood's largest studios, raising fears about market concentration.

The intervention signals the UK's willingness to scrutinise big tech and media consolidation.
