Paramount–WBD antitrust trial set for March by federal judge

U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín has set the antitrust trial over the Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery merger for March 2 through late March. The date aligns closely with the timeline sought by state attorneys general and the Writers Guild of America, who filed suit to block the deal. The trial will determine whether one of the media industry's largest proposed mergers can proceed.
