While it's clear that this timeline is mostly about the two parent companies, im wondering if it would be enhanced by including some of the major acquisitions by the two in between the various spinoffs and mergers. I think it might provide some context for how a spinoff of a former minor division became large enough to buy its former parent. That acquisition of Paramount Pictures by Viacom especially is significant. Also, it would probably make sense to mention when National Amusements gained control of ViacomCBS. oknazevad (talk) 12:31, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, when I created this back in June I was only concentrating on the two parent companies just to get it started. It is fascinating how ViacomCBS has evolved. As you can see in the page history for the past month, IP users have boldly added the other acquisitions. Zzyzx11 (talk) 05:09, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
