George Cheeks Addresses Staffers in First Memo as Skydance TV Co-Chair: ‘CBS Remains a Cornerstone’

George Cheeks has issued his first internal memo as the newly appointed co-chair and chief content officer of Skydance TV. The communication follows the official closure of the $111 billion merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery, an event that has triggered significant leadership transitions within the organization.

In his address to staff, Cheeks emphasized the ongoing importance of CBS as a cornerstone of the company’s operations. The memo serves to outline his strategic vision for the entity under the new ownership structure led by Skydance chairman and CEO David Ellison.
