Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ:PSKY) CEO David Ellison said he sees a lot of opportunities for deals in media amid reports that the company may make an offer for Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD). 

“There’s a lot of options out there in terms of what actually might be actionable in the near future,” Ellison said at the Bloomberg Screentime conference in Los Angeles on Thursday.
