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.
On October 8, 2026, CBS announced it would air a town hall with Vice President JD Vance ahead of the midterm elections. This follows the October 7, 2026, completion of Skydance-owned Paramount's $81 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The mega-merger brings two major American TV news networks, CBS and CNN, under the same corporate umbrella. CNN chief Mark Thompson will retain his position, and a new editorial board will oversee news independence amid concerns over political influence and media consolidation.
