Viacom contributions received by 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.

Paramount PAC receipts still need the VIACOM key

C00167759 is disclosed as PARAMOUNT GLOBAL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made. The $848,074 is Viacom-coded individual receipts. Other employers giving to Paramount PAC appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the 5,722-line filter.

PARAMOUNT GLOBAL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00167759) is disclosed as a political action committee on this packet. A shared word between the employer string and the PAC name does not prove a corporate treasury gift. The $848,074 figure remains itemized individual receipts. Independent expenditures by Paramount PAC, if any, are a different FEC table. Unitemized individual gifts never enter $848,074.

Line volume: 5,722 receipts, not 5,722 people

Viacom across all committees is $4,344,777. Viacom at Paramount PAC is $848,074 — about 19.5%. The gap is $3,496,703 (80.5%). Closing that gap would require other committee joins, which this packet does not list.

5,722 lines at about $148 each describe the cell arithmetic. That mean is $848,074 divided by 5,722. It is not a typical gift, not a contribution limit, and not a payroll calendar. A few large receipts can hide inside a $148 mean. The packet supplies no median.

Viacom text is not a USAspending vendor

A shared employer word and a shared committee are not a causal chain. $848,074 is the itemized-individual overlap. It is not proof that Viacom as an organization directed the gifts, and it is not proof that the gifts bought federal contracts. FEC donations do not fund USAspending awards on this page; the datasets are different ledgers.

Cite $848,074, 5,722 contributions, $4,344,777, and C00167759. Keep both sides named: Viacom as grouped text, PARAMOUNT GLOBAL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE as recipient. Motive is outside the packet. Corporate treasury contributions, if any exist on other schedules, are not in these facts. Live overlay numbers win if they disagree with this snapshot. FEC.gov remains the originating public record.

Next clicks without mixing tables

Four hrefs cover the join: the Viacom industry hub, the PARAMOUNT GLOBAL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE committee hub, All industries, and All FEC ties. Together they let a reader add or remove one filter at a time without leaving FEC itemized-individual space.

The Viacom industry page holds the $4,344,777 grouping and the committees that received the other 80.5%. The Paramount PAC page holds C00167759 receipts from every employer. All industries and All FEC ties collect neighboring pairs without mixing independent expenditures into this 5,722-line cell.

Researchers who need names behind the 5,722 contribution lines must leave this prose page for the committee and industry tables. This tie only publishes the overlap: $848,074 coded to VIACOM and received by PARAMOUNT GLOBAL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00167759), against a grouping of $4,344,777. About 19.5% of that grouping is here; $3,496,703 is not. Dollars per line average about $148. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees with $848,074, 5,722, or C00167759, the overlay and FEC.gov control. Source: FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by employer/industry and recipient committee. Not independent expenditures.

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.

This page is only that overlap.

Is $848,074 the full Viacom grouping?
