"Merger Mania: Paramount Commits to Keeping Both Studios in California. In a significant development, Paramount has announced its intention to maintain operations at both its own studio lot and the Warner Bros. studio lot in California, should the proposed merger between the two companies come to fruition. The move is likely a bid to reassure California lawmakers and workers that the merged entity will continue to invest in the state's thriving film and television industry. By keeping both studios operational, Paramount is sending a strong signal that it values the state's favorable business climate and its talented workforce."
Paramount has already committed to keeping both the Paramount and Warner Bros. studio lots operational if the merged company remains in California.
