Could Nickelodeon Undergo A Major Restructure Under Skydance?

Skydance is currently in the process of acquiring Paramount Global home to IPs like CBS, Nickelodeon and MTV with the deal still awaiting further approval from the FCC. Following Trump's lawsuit with one of Paramount's cable networks the deal is believed to have been postponed.

Although it had been stated from various outlets that this whole lawsuit served as a separate transaction.

As some consumers have heard, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Paramount's new owners might be looking to get rid off Nickelodeon and MTV's other cable networks. This idea wouldn't seem far fetched as Warner Bros. Discovery and NBCUniversal are going a similar scenario.

But what many consumers have been worried about for sometime is how Nickelodeon will be affected. Because there's been a lot of chatter that most of its content is likely to get booted off leaving SpongeBob Squarepants to takeover the channel I mean look at Cartoon Network.

Before AT&T decided to spinoff WarnerMedia and merge with Discovery, Cartoon Network had been branded off as The Teen Titans GO! channel. Initially, it had relied on Summer Camp Island, Infinity Train and The Fungies for life support but after the merger less content came out to the network.

Bloomberg covered this story were it was revealed that Cartoon Network very much like The CW and SABC 3 had been losing millions in ad revenue. If Skydance does acquire Paramount Global you can bet your bottoms that Nickelodeon will undergo some restructure.

As seen with Cartoon Network Studios, it now focuses solely on IPs curated by Cartoon Network over the years as Warner Bros. Animation is the new face of original animation. Skydance has plans to integrate it's animation division with that of Nickelodeon Animation and Paramount Animation.

Nickelodeon over the years had been curating content for Netflix such as Glitch Techs and Pinky Malinky. You can only assume that they'll strengthen this partnership and shift the focus away from its cable networks.

I mean look at MTV.

Paramount is now using the network to air shows like The Big Bang Theory and Teen Wolf. Is there any chance of duplication in other markets now that Comedy Central is on a repetitive slope as acquiring companies tend to scale back on redundancy and low performing assets.
