The Wall Street Journal reported that, after finalizing its new merger, the newly formed Paramount Skydance is “preparing a majority cash bid” to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, home to TNT Sports, TBS, and the HBO Max streaming service. FOS media and entertainment reporter Ryan Glasspiegel has the latest on the merger talks and how the combined sports properties of CBS and TNT Sports could rival that of ESPN.

Meanwhile, fresh off his exit from Fox Sports, former NFL player Emmanuel Acho tells Baker Machado and Renee Washington how he felt blindsided by FS1 canceling his show The Facility and having only 54 days before the start of the NFL season to build a new digital postgame show, Speakeasy, alongside former Fox colleague LeSean “Shady” McCoy.

And it’s a big weekend ahead for the Premier Lacrosse League, as the 2025 U.S. Bank Championship heads to New Jersey to see the New York Atlas take on the Denver Outlaws for the title. PLL cofounder and president Paul Rabil talks about the upcoming championship, the Women's Lacrosse League expanding to a full season with the playoffs starting in 2026, and his new ESPN broadcast deal.
