- Summary: NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (AUGUST 13, 2019) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) WILLIAM O'NEIL & CO., CHIEF INVESTMENT STRATEGIST, RANDY WATTS, SAYING: "I think the Viacom - CBS deal is a sign that the media industry continues to get tougher and more competitive, and scale is important. When you look at a company like Disney buying in a lot of the entertainment assets, Fox, you know, a year or so ago. If Disney feels it has to scale up, I think that's really a message to everyone that they have to scale up. And the reason that's important is, for spending you have to have a critical mass of budget to spend for new content to compete with people like Amazon, Netflix, and Disney, who have very deep pockets. I don't think this is the last major media merger we are going to see over the next year."
