CBS Entertainment

CBS Television is a division and business segment of ViacomCBS that oversees the company's commercial broadcasting and television production properties. The company was formed upon the merger of CBS Corporation and Viacom on December 25, 2019, as a unit to oversee CBS-branded units within the combined company (besides CBS Interactive, which is part of ViacomCBS Entertainment).

The unit's properties include the namesake CBS television network, owned-and-operated TV stations, CBS Television Studios, distribution/syndication companies (CBS Television Distribution and CBS Studios International), CBS Sports, CBS News, and The CW television network (50% with WarnerMedia). Joseph Ianniello leads the division as president.

Background
