So, what is CBS going to do with the money that it is getting from selling Paramount Parks (all cash, by the way)?

Setting up a movie studio (to compete with Paramount!)?

I just finished reading "Desperate Networks" a few weeks ago, and it spent quite a bit of time discussing the Viacom split. According to the author, Moonves was very disappointed that the movie studio went with the Viacom side, instead of under him at CBS. So, I guess maybe this is his solution to that.

BTW...if you're at all interested in the entertainment industry (especially television), "Desperate Networks" is a great book.
