 PROFILE
It takes less than "60 Minutes" to see that CBS Television Network is the big "Survivor" in the ratings wars. Despite a mostly older audience, CBS emerged as the top-rated network for the 2000-01 season, barely edging last year's winner ABC. Its reality series "Survivor" has become a monster hit for the network and is attracting a younger audience than the network is used to. CBS also owns syndication giant King World Productions ("The Oprah Winfrey Show, Wheel of Fortune") and operates 39 CBS and UPN TV stations for parent Viacom, which bought CBS in 2000. CBS' investments in Internet sites such as MarketWatch.com, SportsLine.com, and iWon.com have been transferred to Viacom.
