> A federal judge in California has scheduled a March 2027 trial for lawsuits challenging Paramount Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The ruling, issued Tuesday, sets a courtroom date for legal challenges to the proposed deal. The litigation will therefore proceed to trial rather than being resolved before that stage.
