Analyst: media M&A shifts from dealmaking to the hard work of integration

TheWrap’s Jon Lafayette reports that TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz says earnings season will be dominated by the fallout from Skydance’s completed Warner Bros. Discovery takeover and Fox’s pending Roku deal, with focus shifting to integration risk over deal value.
