Former President Donald Trump says he has agreed to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on three networks, including ABC. “We’d like to do three debates,” Trump said at a press conference from his Mar-A-Lago estate in Florida. “I think it’s very important to have debates, and we’ve agreed with Fox on a date of September 4.” Trump added that he has also agreed to a debate with Harris on NBC, and on ABC. Trump had been scheduled to debate current President Joe Biden on ABC on September 10, but those plans were scrapped after Biden stepped out of the presidential race in favor of Harris. ABC confirmed that its debate between Trump and Harris is set for September 10 and that David Muir and Linsey Davis will moderate. However, Trump admitted that he hasn’t actually solidified a deal for the three debates with the Harris team. “The other side has to agree to the terms,” he said. “They may or may not agree. I don’t know if they’re going to agree.”

Paramount Global said its pending merger with Skydance Media prompted it to take a $5.98 billion good-will impairment charge – tied mainly to its linear cable networks – in the second quarter. The write-down comes one day after Warner Bros. Discovery took a $9.1 billion impairment charge for its cable networks. Paramount agreed to be purchased by a consortium led by Skydance in July in a deal valued at $8 billion. That transaction is expected to close next year. Paramount, the owner of CBS, the Paramount movie studio and cable networks like Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and MTV, said overall revenue in the period fell 11% due to declines at its film and traditional TV units. The streaming business turned a profit for the first time, with ad sales at Pluto and Paramount+ rising 16%, but it wasn’t enough to counter the linear declines. Net losses for the period rose to $5.3 billion and Paramount Global said it planned to cut $500 million in costs over time, adding that it planned to cut its U.S. workforce by 15% this year, mainly in redundant positions in marketing and communications, finance, legal, technology, and other support functions.
