[LISTEN] 'There's Been A Lot Of Interest From Outside Parties,' Says CBS' Moonves With Regard To Radio Separation

THE MOUTH, MAY 4TH, 2016 –– CBS Chairman/CEO Leslie Moonves was quite upbeat in yesterday'Ss Q1 call saying, "I'm extremely pleased to tell you that CBS has turned in a phenomenal first quarter. Revenue was up 10% to $3.85 billion, the highest we've ever had in the first quarter in our history." Moonves added ,"Obviously, the Super Bowl played a big part in this, but even when you take out the Super Bowl, and our three extra NFL games, underlying network advertising was up 12%, the strongest we've seen in a long, long time." As for radio, Moonves said, "We are working towards separating our radio business from the CBS Corporation ... there's also been a lot of interest from outside parties. So, we have a number of different options to consider." Later in the call in its Q&A with analysts, Bryan Kraft - Deutsche Bank Securities asked CBS' COO Joseph R. Ianniello about CBS pending radio separation. "You mentioned, do youexpect that to be structured as an IPO of the business with proceeds going to CBS and CBS retaining a stake? Or will it be a complete separation of the business?

"Yeah, we do anticipate a traditional two-step and IPO where it'd be sub 20%, again, similar to outdoor," said Ianniello. "If you just looked at that as a template where CBS would own again, 80%-plus initially. But then we would follow that up later with a full separation of the assets, probably again an exchange offer vis-à-vis a split-off. Again, very similar to what we just did with outdoor. That being said, there's a lot of other opportunities in front of us. So, we will explore all those opportunities and pursue the one that we believe will maximize value for shareholders." Ianniello added that the company would continues synergies with CBS Radio. “There’s obviously a lot of stations that have call letters with our call letters on them, and so we’ll preserve that. We’re trying to add to both the profitability of the TV and radio stations, not make one go up and the other go down.” LISTEN TO CALL HERE

Hulk Headed For Round Two Against Gawker; Names Radio Hosts In Latest Suit

THE MOUTH, MAY 3RD, 2016 –– Following last month's $140 million legal victory over the Gawker website, Hulk Hogan is now set for another round against the site for allegedly leaking sealed court documents to the National Enquirer that quoted him making racists remarks.

According to The The New York Post, Hogan says Gawker slipped the transcript, which was filed under seal in the then-pending suit between the two parties over a second (s)ex tape with the same woman, Heather Clem, who at the time was married to Bubba the Love Sponge Clem. Just as the Enquirer posted the transcript online, Gawker CEO Nick Denton (left) wrote a piece on his blog predicting that Hogan’s “real secret” would soon be revealed, the suit says. In this latest lawsuit, Hogan also names The Bone Tampa's Mike “Cowhead” Calta, claiming he sent at least one of his secretly recorded (s)ex tapes to Gawker. It also names Don Buchwald & Associates, Inc. and its talent agent Tony Burton and former Tampa radio host Matt “Spice Boy” Loyd, and their employer Cox Radio, Inc.

Gawker, who is appealing the $140 million jury verdict, said in a statement following Hogan's latest suit, "...As we've said before and are happy to say again: Gawker did not leak the information. It's time for Hulk Hogan to take responsibility for his own words, because the only person who got Hulk Hogan fired from the WWE is Hulk Hogan." A total of nine defendants were named in the lawsuit.
