The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday approved the merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media
CBS said the cancellation wasn't related to "content or other matters happening at Paramount." Paramount controversially agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by Trump over a "60 Minutes" interview with then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
