Paramount had a really strong fall and spring sports calendar, but really light in the summer.

You have the Masters, which we were incredibly proud to be partners with.

And now with UFC, we have a year-long sports strategy.

And that, in addition to all the new originals that we're going to be making for P+, there's going to be more content.

There's going to be a better tech product.

That's going to yield additional engagement and scale.

So right now, we're basically combining the back end.

It's certainly something we've discussed and explored, but not something we're planning to do right now.

When does the less fun part come?

So look, one of the things that I think is actually important is this business can be operated a lot more efficiently than it was operated in the past.

And we've obviously announced $2 billion and obviously run rate synergies.

We've said we're going to meaningfully obviously exceed those targets.

And from our perspective, we intend to do that as quickly as possible so that we can basically get that behind us and then have the entire team just building for the future.

All right.

I've never seen either of them play tennis, so I don't feel equipped to be able to do that.

So, look, we're a publicly traded company, and I think we're not in a position to be able to comment on rumor or speculation of any kind, because there's a couple of rumors and speculations, obviously, out there in terms of what we may or may not be doing.

But look, what I can't comment on is people that kind of understand our mindset, right?

And I actually think, ironically, it was David Zasloff last year that said, consolidation in the media business is important.

And the way we approach everything is, first and foremost, what's good for the talent community?
