Chairman

Redstone announced in February that ViacomCBS — the product of the 2019 re-merger of CBS Corp. and Viacom — was changing its name to Paramout Global, kicking off a new rebranding that aligned the company with the cinematic past of its 110-year-old movie studio as well as streamer Paramount+. The Paramount studio started 2022 with four No. 1 box-office hits (“The Lost City,” “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” “Scream,” “Jackass Forever”) then struck gold with “Top Gun: Maverick,” which grossed $1.5 billion worldwide. Meanwhile, CBS reigned as the No. 1 broadcast network for the 14th year running while Paramount show “Yellowstone” was No. 1 on cable again.
