The new company will face massive debt and a shifting entertainment landscape that will force it to make deep cuts in both structural operations and staffing with the job loss to be in the 10s of thousands as well as unrealized jobs due to the consolidated media landscape. There’s also little chance that AI isn’t forced upon the mega media company as a large number of investors are heavily invested in the space and need “proof” it can succeed in entertainment.
