Interesting article at multexinvestor.com

Excerpt on CBS:


While Rupert Murdoch is in the process of selling off part of News
Corp. Ltd.(NWS) and its No. 4-rated Fox Network to create a purer play
in U.S. entertainment, CBS Corp. Ltd. (CBS) is much further down that
road already, says Bankers Trust's Marcus, who rates the company a
"strong buy."

Marcus likes the fact that CBS is beginning to capitalize on
cross-ownership opportunities to garner big cross-media advertising
contracts in New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago. It also doesn't
hurt that the No. 2 network is holding its own in the current fall season
as it continues efforts to stretch its mainstream appeal to older viewers
(buttressed once again by the NFL) and to GenXers (with programs like
Howard Stern's on Saturday nights).

CBS should post 1998 EPS of $0.08 and 1999 EPS of $0.35, according to
a consensus of Multex's research providers.
