PARAMOUNT GLOBAL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE

Two keys: VIACOM and C00167759

FEC.gov itemized-individual aggregates produced $848,074 when the employer/industry grouping VIACOM was crossed with recipient C00167759. That is the headline number for this ties page, not a restatement of $4,344,777.

The string VIACOM is grouped employer text, not a corporate-treasury schedule. Neighboring legal names are other pages. This file does not invent donor names, extra dollar amounts, or a unique-donor count — that count is not in the packet.

5,722 contributions averaging about $148 ($848,074 ÷ 5,722) describe a busy itemized book with a $148 mean. The packet does not name the 5,722 filers or say whether they are one household repeating. A line count is a filing pattern, not a unique-donor census.

Filer wording versus a corporate family

VIACOM is stored employer text. Paramount, CBS, and other media-family labels sit on other keys unless they match VIACOM exactly. A payroll file would list current workers. This aggregate lists itemized contribution lines whose employer or occupation field grouped to VIACOM. Retirees and household members can reuse the string. 5,722 lines are not an employee headcount.

The packet supplies no unique-donor count for this industry-pac cell. Do not invent one. Cite 5,722 contributions and $848,074 instead. The 19.5% ratio is $848,074 divided by $4,344,777. Other committee joins for VIACOM are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $3,496,703. Citing Paramount PAC as if it were the Viacom lifetime total would overstate this cell by $3,496,703.

Questions

How much did Viacom-coded filers give Paramount PAC?

Does this page name the people behind the 5,722 lines?

No. VIACOM is stored employer text. Paramount, CBS, and other media-family labels sit on other keys unless they match VIACOM exactly.
