I have previously discussed the ongoing trial over the competency of media mogul Sumner Redstone. This article goes into some detail describing the background of this current case. This legal battle is captivating people in both Hollywood and Wall Street because of the importance of Viacom to both the entertainment and business communities. Viacom is a massive media company that owns networks like CBS, Comedy Central, and MTV. Mr. Redstone has been having health problems lately and the future of Viacom could be tremendously impacted by what happens in the future. The court proceedings in this case are ongoing and there will likely be more developments to come. This blog has been continuously reporting on this case, and this article will provide the reader with an extensive amount of background information.
