ViacomCBS Announces Completion of the Merger of CBS and Viacom

ViacomCBS Announces Completion of the Merger of CBS and Viacom

Combination creates a leading, global premium content powerhouse

December 04, 2019 04:35 PM Eastern Standard Time


NEW YORK--ViacomCBS Inc. (Nasdaq: VIACA, VIAC) (“ViacomCBS”) today announced the completion of the merger between CBS Corporation and Viacom Inc. The combined company, which is renamed ViacomCBS, creates a premium content powerhouse with global scale, including leadership positions in markets across the U.S., Europe, Latin America and Asia.

“This is a historic moment that brings together two iconic companies to form one of the world’s most important content producers and providers,” said Bob Bakish, President and Chief Executive Officer of ViacomCBS. “Through the combination of CBS’s and Viacom’s complementary assets, capabilities and talented teams, ViacomCBS will create and deliver premium content for its own platforms and for others, while providing innovative solutions for advertisers and distributors globally. I am excited about the opportunity we have to serve our audiences, creative and commercial partners, and employees, while generating significant long-term value for our shareholders.”

Building on an extraordinary collection of culture-defining franchises and partnerships with creative talent around the world, ViacomCBS will be home to more than 140,000 premium TV episodes and 3,600 film titles, with global production capabilities and more than $13 billion in annual content investment. The company will account for 22% of TV viewership in the U.S. and hold the highest share of broadcast and cable viewing across key audience demographics, with strength in all categories, including News, Sports, General Entertainment, Pop Culture, Comedy, Music and Kids.

Through the strength and scale of these assets, ViacomCBS will be well-equipped to maximize the value of its content for its own platforms and for others, as it meets the growing global demand for third-party premium content. The company’s content scale will support a robust streaming strategy, including ViacomCBS’s own suite of advertising and subscription-based offerings. In addition, the company’s broad reach, extensive intellectual property portfolio and expertise in advanced marketing solutions will enable it to strengthen its partnerships with distributors and advertisers globally.


ViacomCBS Class A and Class B shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 5, 2019 under the ticker symbols “VIACA” and “VIAC”, respectively.

As previously announced, as a result of the merger, each Viacom Class A share and Viacom Class B share converted into 0.59625 of a Class A share and Class B share of ViacomCBS, respectively. Holders of CBS Class A shares and CBS Class B shares will continue to own their existing shares, which are now shares of ViacomCBS.

ViacomCBS will have an attractive growth outlook, be positioned to deliver beneficial cost and revenue synergies and generate substantial free cash flow. This will sustain significant investment in programming and innovation, as well as support ViacomCBS’s commitment to a modest dividend payment. ViacomCBS will also benefit from a strong balance sheet, solid investment grade rating and a board and management team that are focused on creating shareholder value.

From the ViacomCBS Newsroom:

BOB BAKISH: WELCOME TO VIACOMCBS

By Bob Bakish

"We have a rare and exciting opportunity to drive the future of our industry."

Thanks to the hard work of many, I’m thrilled to share that the merger of Viacom and CBS has closed, and ViacomCBS is now in business.

This is a historic moment, and it comes at exactly the right time. Demand has never been higher for content that engages, delights and informs. And that’s exactly what we deliver.

ViacomCBS brings together powerful consumer brands that have shaped media and entertainment since the dawn of the broadcast era. With this combination, we:

• Reunite CBS – America’s Most Watched Network – and Paramount Pictures, Hollywood’s longest-running film studio;

• Create a leading suite of pay-TV properties, including Showtime – a premium brand pushing the boundaries of storytelling – and iconic cable channels such as Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central and BET;

• Expand a sizeable international operating footprint driven by top broadcast networks, including Telefe in Argentina, Channel 5 in the U.K., Network 10 in Australia and Colors in India;

• Leverage a major force in consumer publishing in Simon & Schuster, along with growing businesses in live events, consumer products, recreation and other experiences; and

• Boast one of the most innovative digital and streaming portfolios in the marketplace, with premier subscription based and ad-supported products including CBS All Access and Pluto TV.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more diverse and compelling mix of assets – and this is just one piece of the company’s full portfolio.

What truly unites our brands and businesses is a shared passion for storytelling. You see it in our unmatched legacy of hit programming, from SpongeBob to 60 Minutes, Star Trek to South Park. We introduced audiences to Bobby Axelrod and Forrest Gump, Lucy Ricardo, Walter Cronkite and Dora the Explorer. We aired the very first Superbowl and pioneered the highest standards of broadcast journalism.

Now, we have a rare and exciting opportunity to drive the future of our industry as one of the largest and most influential content creators in the world.

But that’s not all. Commercially, ViacomCBS will be the most important partner in the media ecosystem. The company will deliver the largest share of the U.S. television audience and hold number-one positions in every demographic we serve, including total viewers 2+, kids, Adults 18-49 and 25-54, African Americans and Latinx viewers. This reach will extend across every viewing platform and price point, making us a cornerstone offering for distributors. Combine that with our leadership in advanced advertising and marketing solutions, and ViacomCBS will be the go-to choice for advertisers and agencies.

When it comes to production, we’ll be a global powerhouse, making premium content at scale for our own brands and third parties in every genre through our own best-in-class studios, including Paramount Television, CBS Television Studios and Awesomeness, among others. Plus, under the combined company, we’ll now own one of the largest and most valuable libraries of entertainment out there – an extensive collection of iconic franchises with over 140,000 TV episodes and 3,600 film titles.

Beyond these strengths, we’ll leverage a massive global operating footprint that connects with more than 4.3 billion subscribers across 45 languages in nearly every country in the world. This competitive advantage will allow us to further extend our brands and IP well beyond the screen and even further into experiential offerings.

In every respect, ViacomCBS will be better positioned to serve consumers, partners and shareholders. Looking at our complementary assets and capabilities, I truly believe this is a great fit. I also know we would have never achieved this milestone without the incredible dedication, focus and hard work of the people that drive our organizations forward. Thanks to our employees at CBS and Viacom and the amazing things they do every day, we are stronger now, more resilient and more prepared than ever.

To realize all the opportunities ahead – and overcome the challenges we will no doubt face – we are committed to uniting as one team while continuing to transform and evolve our business for the future. That’s why, in the coming months, you’ll be hearing more about our strategy for long-term growth as a combined company. With the leadership and talent across our teams, I have no doubt we will be able to deliver.

It’s an exciting road in front of us, and I can’t wait to get started.


From Screen:

ViacomCBS is born as merger finally closes

Amid question marks over how it will compete against media giants like Disney, Netflix and AT&T, the ViacomCBS merger finally closed on Wednesday (4) as the companies that Sumner Redstone split apart close to 14 years ago were reunited.

The new entity is valued at approximately $25bn and encompasses cable networks such as Showtime, Nickelodeon and MTV, Paramount Pictures, US broadcast networks CBS and the CW, as well Australia’s Network Ten, the UK’s Channel 5, Argentina’s Telefe, and a joint venture in India with that country’s TV18.

As Screen reported in August, ViacomCBS will house a streaming platform roster that includes CBS All Access, Showtime’s OTT offering, and ad-supported VOD service Pluto TV, which Viacom acquired for $340m earlier this year.

Despite Wall Street caution after shares in CBS and Viacom fell approximately 20% since the merger was announced in August, chair of the combined board Shari Redstone (pictured) remained understandably upbeat, telling reporters on Wednesday the new entity was scalable and would be a content leader. In past year the combined companies reportedly spent $13bn on content.

Bob Bakish is the new entity’s president and CEO, and Joe Ianniello becomes chairman and CEO of CBS.

Official trading of ViacomCBS begins on Thursday.

JC Acosta Unveils ViacomCBS Networks Americas' Upcoming Plans for Nickelodeon Latin America

In an interview with ttvnews, Juan (“JC”) Acosta, President of ViacomCBS Networks Americas, has unveiled ViacomCBS Networks Americas' plans for Nickelodeon Latin America (Latinoamérica) in 2020, including the continuation of Nickelodeon's "Best Year Ever" initative celebrating SpongeBob SquarePants 20th anniversary, the launch of Blue's Clues & You!, the relaunch of NOGGIN in the region, new consumer products inspired by teen star and YouTube sensation, Isabella de La Torre, "La Bala", who Nickelodeon Latin America has exclusive global representation agreement with, and new digital content for Nickelodeon's social networks!


JC Acosta: «ViacomCBS generará grandes oportunidades para LatAm»

Juan Carlos “JC” Acosta, presidente de ViacomCBS Networks Américas, revela a ttvnews los planes de la nueva compañía en la región que incluye networks, streaming, producción original y distribución internacional, entre otras.

Con un extensa trayectoria en la industria televisiva y nombrado recientemente Presidente de ViacomCBS Networks Américas -una división de la nueva compañía formada tras la reciente fusión de Viacom y CBS-, Juan Carlos “JC” Acosta comparte con ttvnews los planes para América Latina y EEUU hispano.

El 4 de diciembre se concretó la fusión y quedó operativa la nueva compañía ViacomCBS. ¿Qué implica ser parte de este nuevo proceso y cómo se implementará esta fusión en América Latina?

En primer lugar, todos los recursos y capacidades de CBS y Viacom están ahora bajo un mismo techo, posicionándonos para dar un mejor servicio a nuestros socios alrededor del mundo. En líneas generales, nuestro liderazgo en la transmisión por aire y de cable -además de la amplitud y profundidad de nuestro alcance en las plataformas nuevas y tradicionales, que abarcan más de 4.300 millones de suscriptores de TV acumulados en más de 180 países- generará oportunidades de distribución nuevas e importantes, incluyendo Latinoamérica.

La compañía combinada cuenta con un gran catálogo de poderosas marcas y contenido que abarcan todas las categorías, incluyendo noticias, deportes, entretenimiento general, cultura pop, comedia, música y niños. Desde Bob Esponja hasta Star Trek, pasando por las sinergias que se podrán generar como, por ejemplo, Showtime incluyendo contenido premium de Paramount Network, hasta el desarrollo de las ya exitosas plataformas de streaming, tales como All Access en EEUU y, por supuesto, la mejor librería de icónicas y nuevas películas de Paramount Pictures. Esto implica formar relaciones más grandes y multifacéticas con nuestros socios de distribución, aprovechando nuestra producción y habilidades avanzadas de publicidad. Además, nuestras señales y Viacom International Studios se verán potenciadas con nuevas licencias de contenido y nuestro negocio global de producción de estudio tendrá aún más fuerza y capacidad en los cinco continentes.

Recientemente, fue nombrado como nuevo Presidente de ViacomCBS Networks Américas. Por un lado, ¿cómo valora el rol de Pierluigi Gazzolo? Y por otro, ¿qué desafíos tiene por delante en este nuevo rol?

Pier ha sido un excelente socio y personalmente lo considero un amigo. Su liderazgo nos ha llevado a través de una sorprendente transformación del negocio en la región. Yo tuve la suerte de trabajar muy cerca de él y aprendí mucho, siempre le estaré agradecido y desde ya daremos todo lo mejor para que brille en su nuevo cargo de Presidente de Viacom International Studios y OTT para ViacomCBS Networks International.

En relación a los desafíos, me siento honrado de tener la oportunidad de llevar el negocio de ViacomCBS Networks Américas al próximo nivel. Hace unos años iniciamos un proceso de innovación que derivó en una organización basada en tres verticales de negocio: tradicional, adyacente y emergente. El desafío es mantener nuestro negocio tradicional mientras incrementamos notablemente nuestros negocios emergentes y adyacentes.

Entre los principales retos podemos destacar el pronto lanzamiento de Pluto TV en Latinoamérica, así como la renovada versión de la aplicación infantil Noggin y la llegada de Paramount+ a los países restantes. Además, tendremos el lanzamiento de VidCon México en 2020, nuevos hoteles de MTV y Nickelodeon también en México, y nuevas licencias de productos de consumo.

Por último, desde nuestro Viacom International Studios seguiremos desarrollando y produciendo contenido original premium para todas nuestras marcas y para todas las plataformas.

¿Cuáles son las prioridades para el portfolio de networks?

Tenemos muchas novedades para el 2020. Desde Nickelodeon seguiremos con novedades en relación a los festejos por los 20 años de Bob Esponja, además de ofrecer nuevos contenidos tales como el icónico Blue’s Clues, el relanzamiento de la app para prescolares Noggin, nuevos productos de consumo de la influencer de Nickelodeon Latinoamérica, Bala, y nuevos contenidos digitales para las redes sociales de Nickelodeon.

Con MTV tendremos la octava edición de los Premios MTV MIAW en Ciudad de México y la tercera edición en São Paulo, además del estreno de la séptima temporada de Acapulco Shore, el reality que es un verdadero fenómeno en Latinoamérica.

En Comedy Central estrenaremos la segunda temporada de Backdoor, el éxito de Porta dos Fundos, la segunda temporada de Se rentan cuartos y la producción del VIS Ana, con Ana de la Reguera.

Y por último en Paramount Channel tendremos las series 19-2, Line of Duty, Atrapa a un ladrón que debutará en 2020, el gran regreso de Yellowstone en su segunda temporada, The Handmaid’s Tale en su cuarta temporada, Killing Eve con su tercera y la producción original R, realizada junto a Claro Video.

¿Cuáles son las “hojas de ruta” para Telefe en Argentina y Porta dos Fundos en Brasil?

Para Telefe el año 2020 es muy importante porque se festejan los 30 años del canal. Vamos a tener muchas celebraciones vinculadas a este aniversario y nuevos contenidos que presentaremos para generar un vínculo emocional con nuestra audiencia, tales como: El muro infernal, La Voz Argentina 2020, Trato hecho, Divina comida, Bake Off, MasterChef, Los internacionales –la serie premium del VIS con Telecom, Olympusat y The Mediapro Studio-, y muchas otras novedades vinculadas al entretenimiento, la ficción y las noticias. Además, tendremos la obra de teatro del súper exitoso show en Argentina Casados con hijos que ya vendió miles de tickets, solo en la primera semana.

Asimismo, trabajaremos con nuestro equipo de ventas para seguir ofreciendo las mejores soluciones avanzadas de marketing para nuestros socios comerciales y brindando nuestro know how y poder de producción para desarrollar aún más “branded content” con nuestros socios de negocio.

Con Porta seguiremos innovando con contenido de comedia divertido e irreverente. También tendremos la segunda temporada de Homens, el nuevo contenido original desarrollado para YouTube Premium El nuevo futuro ex actor de Porta, y una nueva temporada de Greg News para HBO, entre las principales novedades. Buscaremos además fortalecer la franquicia en México: Backdoor, y continuar el proceso de internacionalización de Porta en otros países. El éxito de Backdoor ya tiene casi 3 millones de suscriptores en México y eso nos impulsa a ir por más.

¿Cómo se prepara VIS para 2020?

Hemos tenido un excelente desempeño en 2019 y hemos crecido como estudio. Tenemos muchos productos en preparación y otros que están en búsqueda de partnerships. Estamos entusiasmados con la designación de Pier como número uno internacional del negocio, dado que será una pieza fundamental en la globalización del negocio del estudio, dándole aún más foco y por ende mayores producciones.

¿Qué proyectos de ficción propios de Viacom y para terceros, a través de alianzas estratégicas, ya están en desarrollo o confirmados en 2020?

Contamos con proyectos que se encuentran en diferentes estados de producción. Por mencionar algunos, contamos con R junto a Claro Video, la segunda temporada de Homens; y el nuevo thriller Los internacionales con The Mediapro Studio, Telecom y Olympusat para Telefe y Flow.

También estamos trabajando en los guiones para 38 estrellas, el último libro de la periodista Josefina Licitra sobre la fuga de 38 mujeres en una prisión de Uruguay; y Entre mi hijo, yo y la Luna, libro que el artista uruguayo Carlos Páez Vilaró escribió durante la búsqueda de su hijo tras la denominada “tragedia de los Andes”.

Además, estamos avanzando con las propuestas creativas que cerramos con los reconocidos directores Juan José Campanella y Santiago Segura; y esperamos poder concretar nuevos acuerdos de first-look deal con figuras de este nivel para seguir ofreciendo grandes historias a nuestras múltiples audiencias.

¿Habrá nuevas series originales de la librería de Paramount iniciada con la serie Atrapa a un ladrón?

Estamos muy contentos con los resultados de Atrapa a un ladrón, y por eso hemos iniciado conversaciones con los estudios Paramount, para descubrir nuevas propiedades que podamos producir en formato serie.

¿Qué tal ha sido el lanzamiento de Pluto TV en EEUU hispano?

Estamos muy contentos con los resultados del lanzamiento en EEUU. Pluto TV Latino debutó en octubre de este año con 11 canales y 2.000 horas de contenido en español y portugués. Y hoy ya cuenta con más más de 150 canales de todos los géneros, en asociación con las principales señales de televisión, estudios de cine, generadores de contenido y compañías de medios digitales, que eligen Pluto TV como un socio para difundir su contenido. Además, luego del lanzamiento Pluto TV expandió su espacio de distribución a las plataformas Comcast y Cox.

¿Qué expectativas hay para el lanzamiento en América Latina? ¿Ya hay fecha confirmada?

Pluto TV comenzará a operar en México, Argentina y Colombia en el primer semestre de 2020, mientras que en Brasil estará debutando hacia fines de ese año. Para nosotros representa una gran oportunidad de ofrecer una nueva manera de visualizar contenido premium y variado de manera gratuita, al mismo tiempo que le ofrecemos un servicio de valor agregado a nuestros operadores de cable y video. Estamos realmente muy entusiasmados con la llegada de Pluto TV en América Latina.

¿Qué tal ha sido la performance a la fecha de Paramount+?

Si bien aún no está disponible Paramount+ en toda la región, hemos obtenido grandes resultados en aquellos países donde ya lanzamos el servicio, como México y Brasil. Cerramos el año con miles de nuevos suscriptores. Además, hemos concretado alianzas con socios claves, como Amazon México, Net Brasil y Claro Video Panregional. ¡Se viene un año con muchas novedades de Paramount+ en la región!

¿Cómo observa la industria global con las consolidaciones y los últimos lanzamientos de servicios de streaming?

Sin dudas las nuevas alternativas de consumo están modificando la industria y la forma de consumo. El escenario es cada vez más competitivo y más exigente. Esto quiere decir que no solo debemos ofrecer una propuesta atractiva en materia de contenido, sino que también debemos concentrarnos en brindar la mejor experiencia de usuario para que la audiencia esté a gusto con el material y con la forma de consumir ese contenido.
