There are quite a few business articles posted that go into detail about it. This is nothing like the Fox/Disney deal as CBS and Viacom are structured very uniquely and while there will be some departments that become redundant, there isn't going to be one department for licensing just as there isn't, and has never been  a single 'department' for licensing when dealing with these properties.Mel will still "have a contact" at wherever no matter the underlying structure. This merger may actually cause delays in getting things approved.p.s. CBS was absorbed by Viacom in 2000, which then changed the name back to CBS and spun off parts to create Viacom in 2005, and with this new merger, we seem to mostly be back to where we were in 2000.</blockquote>
