From Diario Financiero:
- Como cualquier empresa que sea parte de la familia CBS, esta productora o estudio va a poder proveer sus servicios. Es clave poder usar TeleColombia para alimentar a Paramount+, y eso no solo quiere decir solo que será la productora, es que se pueda evaluar la librería y determinar qué podemos traer en formatos de éxito o qué nuevos programas podemos hacer para nuestras marcas, como una nueva película para Nickelodeon. La integración es clave, entender qué han creado ellos y ahora ver qué recursos podemos prestar para que ellos continúen creando.
