Good, bad... Skydance is the one with the money...*
( *-With apologies to Bruce Campbell
)But in all seriousness Skydance is the production company behind the Kelvin series of Star Trek films: and has had a good working relationship with Alex Kurtzman ( who also worked on those films) in the past.

The FCC review process typically includes a public comment component, where organizations and individuals can weigh in on proposed transactions. The agency typically sets a 180-day “shot clock” to review transactions, although that is an informal timeline.

Larry owns virtually the entire Hawaiian island of Lana'i. So yeah, he has a couple nickels to rub together.

She never ran Paramount, just Desilu.
And didn't really know what Star Trek was all about.
I know, but in my mind she’ll always be Trek’s first “executive” in what seemed like a much simpler world. Now it’s a bit of a shitshow.
Interestingly enough, in the middle of TOS's run, Desilu was part of merger with Gulf+Western acquiring both Desilu and Paramount. Everything old is new again?
