Skydance to FCC’s Carr: Will End DEI Practices

Skydance has promised it will not participate in any diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives as it seeks approval from the Trump administration to finalize its acquisition of Paramount Global, the company said in a letter Wednesday, reported The Hollywood Reporter.

“On behalf of Skydance Media (Skydance), in connection with our pending applications seeking approval for the transfer of control of Paramount Global (Paramount), I write to confirm the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that were in place at Paramount and to confirm our commitments moving forward,” wrote Stephanie Kyoko McKinnon, Skydance general counsel and co-president of business operations, in a letter to Federal Communication Commission Chair Brendan Carr.
