CBS and Viacom are finally reuniting
"Today marks an important day for CBS and Viacom, as we unite our complementary assets and capabilities and become one of only a few companies with the breadth and depth of content and reach to shape the future of our industry," Bakish said in a statement on Tuesday.
The merger is a reunion for CBS and Viacom. The two companies used to be one, but split in 2006. Shari Redstone, the president of CBS's parent company National Amusements, has been trying for years to reunite the two. Her efforts were initially stymied by former CBS chief Les Moonves, who left his role last September amid a flurry of sexual misconduct allegations against him.
