The Paramount Decree was repealed in Trump I. In any case it isn’t relevant, as it dealt with a monopoly situation where one company controlled the distribution and exhibition for a territory. This isn’t the case for streaming as the consumer can choose between several services.
Studios shouldn’t own channels.

Ultimately it doesn’t matter if consumers can choose between different services if the services don’t have the same “content” due to exclusive rights.
That’s legally irrelevant.
For now. Studios owning cinemas was also legally irrelevant until it wasn’t.
It was not irrelevant, as one studio would control the only cinema accessible in an area.
