Shari Redstone inherited her father’s storied media empire and tried to take on Netflix. Now it’s looking for a buyer.

Sumner Redstone was a buyer, not a seller.

He outmaneuvered peers to acquire a legendary broadcast network (CBS), an iconic studio (Paramount Pictures) and popular cable channels (Nickelodeon and MTV).
