Some reports were made in May 2018 that Shari Redstone and National Amusements were sued by CBS over the CBS Viacom talks and who got control of CBS specifically. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.130.165 (talk) 22:01, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

viacom and cbs tags overwhelm short articles like this
I don't mind a short and to-the-point article like this, but the Viacom and CBS tags overwhelm it by taking up such an enormous amount of screen real estate. --Zippy 17:40, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Concerning recent reverted edits
So, instead of violating WP:3RR, take it to the talk page, or WP:AN3. I'm requesting the page be protected due to the persistent edit warring. That is unless I can an agreement that you'll both stop the revert war, and figure this out in a civil manner. Boomer VialHolla 23:47, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much for this - I really did try to explain the edits and reverts in the comments but 107.107.57.156 just kept doing the same thing, and I did appeal to one of the Wiki editors to ask how to deal with this but he hasn't gotten back to this yet.

There are three problems -

1. The simplest is that someone else put in her ex-husband's middle initial, he took it out for some reason, I put it back in and then he kept reverting. I really don't understand the problem with having the man's name accurate including his middle initial, in both the text when she marries him and in the information box for spouse.

2. He insists for some reason on saying that Redstone married "attorney Ira Korff" when it's clear he was Rabbi Ira A. Korff at the time, and I even provided a published newspaper source reporting on Shari Redstone marrying Rabbi Ira A. Korff. But he keeps reverting that also as if he's trying to say the man was an attorney and later changed to rabbi, or that Redstone married an attorney not a rabbi?

3. The last problem is this business about her divorcing him and giving him a "substantial severance package" - first, how is that at all relevent to this article about her, and second, the only source he gives is an article about a lawsuit from Redstone's brother against her and her father claiming that. The lawsuit was dismissed anyway, but you can allege anything in a lawsuit so how is that any kind of source at all.

Since 107.107.57.156 just kept reverting and repeating the same thing before I don't know if he/she will respond but I hope so. Can someone independent go over these issues? Thanks for this.


 * On Item #1 107 says Ira A. Korff is a redlink but what's the difference anyway when it references him with both names and the Ira Korff goes right to the Yitzhak Aharon Korff article? So who cares if Ira A. Korff is a red link when immediately after you have a link? Can we also address items #2 and #3?  ChosidFrumBirth (talk) 00:48, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Solved issue #1 by keeping the link active as 107.107.57.156 wished. Now can we please resolve issue #3 discussed above (regarding the severance which is only mentioned in an article saying it was alleged in a lawsuit later dismissed so isn't a source, and isn't relevant to this article anyway)? Thank you. ChosidFrumBirth (talk) 01:06, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Protected edit request on 10 February 2016
STATEMENT FROM SHARI REDSTONE ON SUCCESSION

Los Angeles, CA – “As Vice Chair of CBS Corp. and Viacom, Inc., and as President of National Amusements, Inc. (the controlling shareholder of CBS and Viacom), my singular focus is to act in the companies’ best interests by ensuring that each company has a strong Chair, a Board of Directors which diligently oversees management, and an outstanding leadership team.

As has been accurately reported, my father’s Trust states his intention that I succeed him as (non-executive) Chair at CBS and Viacom, and also names me as a Trustee after his death. However, it is my firm belief that whoever may succeed my father as Chair at each company should be someone who is not a Trustee of my father’s trust or otherwise intertwined in Redstone family matters, but rather a leader with an independent voice. I was honored to nominate Les as the CBS Chair and am delighted to congratulate him on his new position. He follows in the visionary tradition of my father, and I know that Les will successfully lead CBS into the digital future.”

Removal of dubious claim in 1990-2016 section
I'm not an expert on Wikipedia editing policy, so I don't know what needs to occur to remove a statement that cannot be independently substantiated. However, I think that some editor, who does know, should remove the dubious, un-referenced comment at the end of this section. It's fairly absurd to contend that Sumner cutting his daughter out of his trust was a method of showing he wanted her to become Chairman. Most Wall Street stock analysts contend that it meant quite the opposite; especially considering their feud prior to his death (at which time he was known to have changed his trust to remove her).

This statement has quite likely been authored by Shari, her x-husband, or someone who is paid to represent their interests. Part of her current legal battle with CBS & Viacom attempts to use this absurd rationale, which is likely why she wants it included in the article. If we're going to allow Ms. Redstone control of the article's content to promote herself and eliminate all honest criticism, then it's almost useless to allow this article to continue to exist.


 * I've chopped it out. For the record the sole reason I looked at this page was because I was trying to trace the insanely complicated history of Atari. Even before reading this talk page the line stood out as odd - it seems obvious that Sumner Redstone cut his daughter out of his will. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 21:07, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Changing ViacomCBS's name to just "Viacom"
I disagree with the ViacomCBS name because back when Viacom merged with CBS in 2000, they were just called "Viacom". Can you please write to Mrs. Redstone to change ViacomCBS's name to Viacom? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:197:C181:B70:A1B2:E72A:1F54:C01F (talk) 00:31, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

why is 2022 BET Awards excessively being broadcasted on 6 cable channels?
No award programs air on more than one or two channels. To excessively broadcadt on six channels is excessive. Seriously, even Nic, Tvland and Comede Central channel? Isn't BET, VH1 and MTV enough? 50.26.134.67 (talk) 02:27, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
