David Ellison’s Paramount Skydance has reportedly cleared a big regulatory hurdle in advancing toward completing its $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.

The Justice Department‘s Antitrust Division has approved the deal, as first reported by Politico. The agency is giving the green light to the Paramount-WBD tie-up without requiring “any divestitures, behavioral remedies or concessions,” according to the report.
