This is barely Star Trek-related news, but we now have confirmation that the franchise will remain under CBS Studios (which is pretty much the only division that hasn’t had a change in management under the new regime).
With that bit of business out of the way, the next step will be for them to make a decision on the renewal of the Secret Hideout deal, which is set to expire next year.

Is there information where the Skydance television production will go?
Is that with the Paramount side?
It wouldn’t make sense to have three television/streaming production arms.

Yeah, I think the new Paramount TV Studios is basically the Skydance studio, renamed - the Old Paramount shut down their version of Paramount Television Studios about a year ago.

Yup. Skydance TV merged with Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and it’s now Paramount TV Studios.

It’s confirmed but after a second read, I think that’s clear.
Interesting that Skydance Studios television, which was a prestigious brand, will sublimate under the Paramount Television Studios name. It does show a certain commitment to the merger on David Ellison’s part.

Much has (justifiably) been said about the merger, and the path to how we got here, but everyone seems to agree that David Ellison is in the business because he loves movies - the whole company was practically a vanity project, rather than a moneymaking scheme.
