The companies had previously explored a merger in 2016 at the urging of ailing 94-year-old Sumner Redstone and his daughter Shari, who control CBS and Viacom through privately held National Amusements but those talks failed due to concerns by CBS’ directors and CBS Chief Executive Leslie Moonves over governance issues and the deal’s financial sense for CBS shareholders.
