CBS ‘Truly Thriving’, Says Exec Chairman

“The operating environment for our businesses continues to improve and we are finishing the year with strong momentum,” said Leslie Moonves, President and Chief Executive Officer, in the company’s earnings release today.

Revenues for the quarter totaled $3.35 billion; income was $565.6 million compared to a $13.48 million loss last year this same quarter.
