Let me be clear. Disney buying Fox is not good for Viacom. It makes us look smaller and exposes our distribution channels and programming flaws. If we remain as is through 2018 I will be shocked. The question is a big WHEN things happen. Anyone care to share Bob's vision? He's trying, great, but make noooooo mistake. This shocking downfall is on Phil D's watch and his incompetent leaders who stuffed their pockets year after year. Hey Phil - if you're reading this please know everyone knew you stunk...you took advantage of Sumner's crazy confidence in you and boom you get a golden parachute. Enjoy, loser.

I agree that it's basically going to become lean enough to be sold to cbs. of course, who will be in charge of that is anyone's guess. Les is kind of on the old side, and Bob is just a nicer Philippe (he's not a creative visionary or a big procurer of creative talent). Maybe Redstones will follow Murdochs and finally sell to someone like Verizon.
I don’t believe Viacom will be sold in parts or as a whole. What will happen is the inevitable merger with CBS. Bobs job was to make Viacom worthy enough for CBS and he’s doing a decent job so far. Not to say all jobs are safe
100% right.
Get ready for viacom to be sold for parts.
