ViacomCBS, the parent company of brands like Paramount Pictures, Comedy Central, BET and MTV, is headquartered in New York and has California offices in Burbank, Hollywood, Studio City and elsewhere. "Given the continued trajectory of the virus, we believe having fewer people commuting and gathering is best," Bakish noted. "You have proven how well we can work remotely as an organization.

Since Viacom and CBS closed an all-stock deal to recombine on Dec. 4, the media conglomerate has undergone significant restructuring. The merged firm, comprised of about 20,000 employees, had planned to sell its Black Rock CBS headquarters but paused the effort in March as the coronavirus arrived stateside.

On Wednesday, Bakish stressed the importance of ViacomCBS' return to production on its film and television content, which had been shuttered since mid-March due to the pandemic.
