??? Where do you see anything saying they're trying to get Paramount Parks back? This merger is strictly between CBS and Viacom. Cedar Fair (and Paramount Parks) isn't involved at all, unless I missed something in the press release.

But that's neither here nor there. ~D ----------------------------------------- From: "Doug Fields" To: "tvornottv@googlegroups.com" Cc: Sent: Wednesday August 14 2019 7:26:55AM Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] CBS, Viacom together again The original Viacom owned CBS for several years, until the company decided to split in the mid-00s due to stock market strategy (and as a solution to an internal power struggle between Les Moonves and whoever the guy in charge of MTV was at the time, over who would replace Sumner Redstone when he retired). 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.
