CBS Television Stations, privately owned and headquartered in the US, was founded in 1941 and employs approximately 320 individuals. The company reported $1.5B in revenue as of 2025 and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. It operates under its parent company, CBS. Specializing in broadcast television and radio, it is a division of the CBS Entertainment Group unit of Paramount Skydance Corporation, owning and operating American television stations and CBS News. As of January 2021, its portfolio includes 28 stations, comprising 15 core CBS television network stations, two The CW affiliates, ten independent stations, and one primary-channel affiliate of the digital subchannel network Start TV. Additionally, it maintains a half-interest in Start TV, co-owned with Weigel Broadcasting.
Speculation intensified on July 8, 2026, regarding the possibility of CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss leading CNN's newsroom, a move reportedly prompting CNN journalists to consider departures amidst a likely merger of parent company Warner Bros. Earlier on July 8, reports indicated CBS was making significant efforts to accommodate the Trump administration, characterizing the network's posture as "corporate capitulation." This followed news on July 7 that the impending Paramount Skydance/Warner Bros. Discovery merger is expected to bring substantial changes across brands, with particular focus on Weiss potentially taking the helm at CNN post-merger.
