America\u2019s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys<\/em>. Skydance, of course, recently completed a merger with Paramount.<\/p>\nParamount Sports Entertainment will \u201ccomplement\u201d CBS Sports, which will still retain editorial control over live sports and studio programming, per Weprin.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are incredibly excited to expand Paramount\u2019s best-in-class sports portfolio with the launch of our new Sports Entertainment division with Jesse at the helm,\u201d CEO David Ellison said in a statement. \u201cBlending cutting-edge technology, innovative entertainment, and the power of our media platforms, our goal is to deliver the very best in storytelling while reimagining how fans engage with the sports they love. This division embodies our fan-first philosophy and our dedication to delivering a full spectrum of sports entertainment that engages and inspires fans at every level.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paramount has made clear that, under new ownership, it is prepared to make a splash in the sports world. Shortly after the Skydance merger was completed, Paramount outbid several other suitors to secure UFC rights at a rate of $1.1 billion per year. The establishment of a new Sports Entertainment division seems to be continuing that trend.<\/p>\n
Given the success of Skydance Sports outside the Paramount umbrella, it only makes sense to have that team play a larger role in the merged company.<\/p>\n
