TLDR
Awful Announcing, citing Puck's John Ourand, reports that the planned combination of CBS Sports and TNT Sports could bring layoffs and cuts to sports rights. Deals TNT made after losing the NBA—including rights to the College Football Playoff, Big 12 and French Open—may face scrutiny. Skydance has pledged $6 billion in merger synergies, while Ourand says the combined sports group may pursue rights that help grow its streaming businesses.
