Joe Ianniello, who led CBS Corp. when it merged with Viacom Inc. in 2019, is launching a SPAC, dubbed Argus, that hopes to raise at least $300 million and pursue a merger.
In an interview, Mr. Ianniello said media is a target-rich industry, as large companies look to spin off assets that aren’t their core focus. He pointed to ViacomCBS’s decision to sell CNET to Red Ventures LLC in 2020 and AT&T Inc.’s move earlier this year to spin out its DirecTV business.
“All of these companies grew a lot through M&A, and they’re diversified,” Mr. Ianniello said. “A lot of these companies are going to shed assets for them to focus.” Other potential acquisition targets could be in the telecommunications or technology sectors, Mr. Ianniello told A Wall Street Journal.
