description: Viacom was an American mass media conglomerate that merged with CBS Corporation in December 2019 to form ViacomCBS
  (later rebranded as Paramount Global). The combined entity, which included brands such as CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy
  Central, BET, Paramount Pictures, Showtime, and Paramount+, was subsequently acquired by Skydance Media and ceased to exist
  as an independent public company in August 2025. Viacom maintained open source software through its GitHub organization
  (ViacomInc), including tools for Roku channel development, tvOS UI components, and broadcast calendar utilities. No public
  external developer API program was offered.
