The newly combined ViacomCBS has restructured the leadership team for its international networks business under David Lynn, resulting in expanded roles for Maria Kyriacou and Raffaele Annecchino and the departure of Singapore-based Mark Whitehead.

ViacomCBS has entered into a definitive agreement with beIN MEDIA GROUP to acquire a 49-percent stake in Miramax.

The merger of CBS Corporation and Viacom is now complete, with ViacomCBS CEO Bob Bakish calling it a "historic moment" for the media industry.

CBS Corporation and Viacom have announced additional senior management appointments for the merged ViacomCBS, including Alex Berkett as executive VP of corporate development and strategy.

Chris McCarthy and David Nevins are both adding new channels to their remit under the proposed ViacomCBS merger structure, while Kent Alterman and Sarah Levy exit the company.

CBS and Viacom have revealed the senior leadership appointments across ViacomCBS’ revenue lines, with Armando Nuñez to serve as chairman of global distribution and chief content licensing officer and David Lynn to oversee the combined company’s international media networks.

President and CEO Robert Bakish says he is confident that ViacomCBS’s ability to own and distribute content across the entire media ecosystem—in-house and third-party platforms, linear and streaming, free TV and pay—ensures the company’s wellbeing whatever changes the future may hold.

Anthony DiClemente has been named to the position of executive VP of investor relations at ViacomCBS, effective upon closing of the deal to combine CBS and Viacom.
