Should never have given Viacom the control of the combined company, CBS Corp was more valuable than Viacom in the first place.

They are running a business, like most businesses they are running short on a cash due to the pandemic, it makes perfect sense for them to offload non essential assets to raise cash.

The Amazing Switch

12 Months Of Growth And Counting

In late July, we hit what we think is an important milestone: 12 consecutive months of audience share growth. That was one of several big markers, so here is a summary:

• Network 10: 12 consecutive months of audience share growth in 25 to 54s.

• Network 10: 12 consecutive months of audience share growth in total people.

• 10 Bold: 78 consecutive weeks of audience growth.

• 10 Peach: 28 consecutive weeks of audience growth in 16 to 39s.

• 10 Play: up 29% year-on-year and its biggest year ever.

And guess what? We have kept on growing since then!
