Skydance Sports Leadership Shift

David Berson to Take Over Combined Sports Operations at Skydance After Merger

David Berson, the head of CBS Sports, is set to take over the sports operations of Skydance once it completes its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. This comes as Luis Silberwasser, the company's top sports executive, will also exit. Berson will oversee a merged portfolio that includes CBS Sports' NFL and Masters golf rights, a Warner package that includes NHL and Major League Baseball games, and the U.S. rights to the French Open. This merger means that the NCAA March Madness college basketball championship will be under a single company's oversight for the first time in years.
