"I think the people that have run CNN for the last long period of time are a disgrace. I think it's imperative that CNN be sold."

Put together, the two companies pass ~7.1 [million] locations in 26 states. The two companies overlap in only three counties in Texas (109k locations). Texas and Illinois will have the largest footprint for the combined entity. Cable and Fiber will cover an almost equal share of locations for the combined company.

Rise Internet represents who we are today and where we're headed. We believe great internet service isn't just about speed or technology. It's about responsiveness, local customer service, honest pricing and a promise to keep improving. Strong internet isn't a luxury utility confined to big city living, it's an essential service that supports work, education, health care and daily life.

Both are using wireless as a broadband retention tool: a customer with both internet and mobile from the same provider is much harder to lose to a fiber overbuilder.

According to the pair, the move gives GFiber the external capital and necessary focus to drive its next phase of expansion, allowing it to buildout its fiber footprint across the US.

As we said, we do plan to put the two services together, which today gives us a little over 200 million direct to consumer subscribers. We do plan for that to be able to operate with independence, so that HBO can, candidly, do what it does incredibly well.

"Until maybe eight years ago, television in and of itself was a very clean and tidy well-lit marketplace. It was very clear and easy to understand this television universe. "What's happened is, with the rise of streaming, particularly through the pandemic, we're seeing streaming begin to rival and sometimes exceed linear viewership. "And that has created a massive amount of fragmentation for the television universe."

Paramount was criticized for settling a $16 million voter interference lawsuit filed by President Trump. The FCC approved its Skydance deal shortly after.
