Skydance faces heavy debt and integration challenges after merger

Skydance has joined with Warner Bros.

Discovery to create a much larger media company.

The deal leaves the company with about $80 billion in debt, according to the article.

It must try to grow revenue and invest in shows and films while also cutting costs and paying down debt.

Investors are unsure whether it can manage these challenges, and the merger may push other media companies to consider deals of their own.
