The Impact of Bob Bakish’s Departure on Paramount and the Future of Streaming Services

Paramount, one of the leading entertainment companies, is set to announce the departure of its chief executive officer, Bob Bakish. The move comes as a shock to many as the company is reportedly exploring a merger with Skydance, making it an uncertain time for Paramount. Sources suggest that Bakish’s worsening relationship with Shari Redstone, the company’s controlling shareholder, has led to his impending departure. Ms. Redstone had expressed frustration with Bakish’s inability to get crucial deals across the finish line.

The succession plan for Mr. Bakish remains unclear; however, sources speculate several executives from within Paramount are under consideration to lead an “office of CEO.” Together they would drive creative direction while keeping operations smooth and profitable. With such significant changes ahead for this storied entertainment company – could this be just what they need?

Like many media companies in recent years, Paramount has struggled with their streaming services audience numbers dwindling compared to traditional cable viewership rates

Vienna (OTS) – “Yesterday, ÖVP European Minister Edtstadler was raving about the industrial association’s neoliberal ideas of extending standard working hours while keeping wages the same and also canceling public holidays. Today she was rudely rebuffed by her ÖVP chancellor,” said European spokeswoman and EU candidate NAbg today . Petra Steger.

This “sit, sit down” for Minister Edtstadler is a clear indication that things must be getting hot within the ÖVP. “There are rumblings among the blacks and winging is already the order of the day, because the dirt bucket attacks á la Silberstein are s

Noting the failure of the pan-European individual retirement savings product (PEPP), launched in 2022, without ever really taking off, France is now advocating another method for mobilizing the savings of Europeans, in order to meet financing needs “massive” years to come.

They found that 81% of Koreans face an income gap after retirement. In other words, a situation of ‘retirement = poverty’ is occurring.

According to a recent survey by the Insurance Research Institute, more than 8 out of 10 non-retirees are not properly preparing for the post-retirement income gap. Only 12.0% responded that they ‘prepare well’, and 6.7% responded that ‘there is no need to prepare.’

To ensure the financial sustainability of the national pension system, Korea is raising the starting age for old-age pension benefits by one year every five years from 60 between 2013 and 2033, so the post-retirement income gap is expected to be long.

In fact, for those born after 1953, the starting age for receiving an old-age pension has increased from 60 to 61, and for those born after 1969, the starting age for receiving an old-age pension is 65.

In relation to this, the Korea Economic Association also expressed concern, “Since the retirement age for the middle-aged main job remains in the early 50s, the period of income gap after retirement may become longer due to an upward adjustment of the normal pension age.”

According to a survey conducted by the Korea Insurance Institute, non-retirees expect the national pension to be the main source of income after retirement, and the majority of them said they plan to receive the pension at retirement age normal, noting that there is a high possibility that the income gap wi
