Mark Thompson and Bari Weiss will separately lead CNN and CBS News, respectively.
Ellison expressed pride in the leadership team Skydance will have, stating that they will build a "next-generation global media company that leads the industry in creative excellence and innovation, and delivers for audiences, creators, partners, and shareholders alike."
