PSKY: Paramount is reshuffling streaming teams as David Ellison's tech vision comes

into focus (Business Insider) - Paramount Skydance is preparing to move around some

streaming staffers as David Ellison's company wraps up its long-term project of unifying the

tech platforms of Paramount+ and free streamer Pluto TV. This so-called "convergence"

project has been a top priority for Paramount. Two high-level streaming employees recently

said that convergence is on pace to meet the company's stated goal of a "mid-year launch."

While Paramount is planning to keep Paramount+ and Pluto TV as separate services, the

hope is that having a single tech platform will save resources and improve recommendations

across each app, which could drive higher engagement.

‘Star Trek’ and More Top IP With New Original Ideas for Video Games (Variety) - Paramount

Skydance chief David Ellison — a self-professed gamer — has finally hit the restart button

on Paramount’s gaming ambitions: His company unveiled Paramount Games Studio and

splashy AAA title “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin” as its first project on June

5 during Summer Game Fest in L.A. The new division, led by president Tony Driscoll (who

added the new role alongside his current post as Paramount’s head of corporate strategy

and development), combines Skydance’s two game studios with Paramount intellectual

property. According to the company, the move elevates games as a core pillar of its

entertainment biz.
