The broadcast network operator says sales of popular shows to other networks and higher subscription fees for pay-TV service Showtime helped overcome an advertising downturn.

 

CBS Corp., which is controlled by media mogul Sumner Redstone, posted net income of $208 million, reversing a $12.5 billion loss in a year-ago quarter that was marred by impairment charges.

 

Adjusted for one-time items, the earnings came to 25 cents per share, cruising past analyst expectations for 22 cents per share.

 

Revenue fell less than 1 percent to $3.35 billion, also handily beating forecasts.
