Frequently asked questions

What operational assets did CBS Corporation own?

Why did CBS and Viacom separate in 2006?

How did CBS Corporation fund its operations?
CBS generated substantial free cash flow from advertising revenue (primarily from the broadcast network), affiliate fees from cable and satellite distributors, content licensing and syndication, and publishing revenue. The company maintained investment-grade credit and returned cash via dividends and stock buybacks (per the firm's 2018 annual report).
What role did Shari Redstone play at CBS?
