A propos of nothing, but I don't see Cedar Fair giving up the parks it gained in the Paramount Parks deal. But that's neither here nor there.

The original Viacom took the name "CBS Corporation" after the split, with the rest of the company (MTV, BET, Paramount Pictures, etc) taking the name "Viacom" as a completely new entity. Now, with this merger, they're putting the band back together, the way it was 15 years ago.

Were they already "close" on many fronts?
