Luis Silberwasser to Leave Skydance Ahead of Merger as David Berson Takes Over Global Sports Division
Luis Silberwasser, chairman and CEO of TNT Sports, is departing the soon-to-be merged Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. Discovery company ahead of its expected closure on October 6. Sources indicate that Silberwasser informed his team via email about his decision to leave as part of a restructuring following the merger. David Berson, president and CEO of CBS Sports, will lead the newly formed global sports division overseeing all networks, platforms, and territories under the combined entity. The new group will include brands such as CBS Sports, TNT Sports, and WBD Sports. Skydance is expected to formally announce this leadership change soon. The merged company plans to operate under the name Skydance and will hold a broad portfolio of sports rights including NFL Sunday afternoon games, March Madness, college football, NHL, NASCAR, French Open, The Masters, and more.
