BBC World Service - Business Matters, Warner and Paramount in reported merger talks

Warner Brothers Discovery and Paramount reportedly in talks about a merger

Warner Brothers Discovery and Paramount have reportedly met to discuss a possible $38 billion merger

The CEOs of Warner Brothers Discovery and Paramount have reportedly met to discuss a $38 billion merger – we ask what this could mean for the future of both companies. US consumer confidence is at a five-month high, according to conference Board's consumer index which says confidence has increased to 110.7 this month. We ask how e-scooters, once all the rage, have now been left parked up. And members of the Harlem Globetrotters join us in the studio.
