"This is the third time we're having a conversation about this," Bakish acknowledged during a session at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills.
On Thursday, CNBC reported that a hangup in an alleged merger plan involves the question of who would run the combined company, Bakish or CBS CEO Joe Ianniello. Shari Redstone prefers Bakish, according to CNBC. He said in the near-term, at least, Pluto TV will remain a play on library content where there's "tons of room to run," though he didn't rule out original content sometime in the future. He added, however, that Pluto TV isn't going to morph into a Netflix-like subscription service.
