peter dunn president owner national amusements parent cbs corporation website website the cbs television stations are a group of american television stations owned by cbs corporation . as of february 2013 cbs corporation owns twenty nine stations broken down as follows sixteen are the key stations of the cbs television network ; eight are aligned with the cw television network which is co owned by cbs with time warner ; three independent stations ; two stations affiliated with mynetworktv . 1 the group was founded on may 24 2000 after the merger of viacom and the previous cbs corporation as the viacom television stations group ; it was a merger of the paramount stations group with cbs s owned and operated stations division . it was rebranded to its current name on january 3 2006 after viacom split itself into two publicly traded companies . however both companies are still controlled by national amusements . currently many of cbsts stations especially cbs outlets use a common look in branding . one example is so called cbs mandate involving most cbs stations calling themselves cbs channel number e.g. wcbs tv cbsts flagship station on channel 2 brands itself as cbs 2 . this is the same practice as many other o & o groups across the u.s. only five cbs owned stations do not use such a branding convention . on october 21 2014 cbs and weigel broadcasting announced the launch of a new digital subchannel service called decades scheduled to launch on all cbs owned stations in 2015 . the channel will be co owned by cbs and weigel with weigel being responsible for distribution to stations outside cbs television stations . it will air programs from the extensive library of cbs television distribution including archival footage from cbs news . the move marks the first major use of digital subchannels by cbs who unlike other networks had been slow to adopt digital subchannels of its network owned stations due to compromising picture quality in exchange for more channels . however the advancement of technology has allowed cbs to reverse course . 2 contents 1 stations 1.1 current 1.2 former 2 see also 3 references 4 external links stations edit stations are arranged in
