Traditional TV Media is producing a gusher of cash, but instead of paying dividends, the company is pouring money into their streaming business. Paramount+ is only the 5-6th largest streaming platform and cannot compete with the largest players in value offered to viewers. Sooner or later, acquisition bids will have to be considered; but the longer Paramount stays independent, the more value will be lost.
