Moonves: Showtime won't miss a beat


April 29, 2008 CBS Corp. president and CEO Leslie Moonves said Tuesday morning that his company's Showtime Networks "will not miss a single beat" and has "significant potential for further growth" despite the pay TV arm's loss of movie output deals with Paramount, MGM and Lionsgate. Speaking during the company's first-quarter earnings call Tuesday, Moonves told investors that Showtime had strong momentum with 1.3 million new subscribers over the past 12 months, confirming its best run ever. All the big studios are tied up in output deals with other pay TV giants, but Moonves said Showtime has talked to other suppliers of film and TV product.
