How about the fact that Sumner Redstone holds the largest voting shares in CBS and Viacom which gives him de facto control of the companies. And despite the article you linked to, once he's gone, his daughter will own the largest bloc of shares giving her control.

I think we may see a change when Spike launches. Either, as will be on Freeview, it will replace Viva on cable, or not and we'll get an additional channel.

I'm interested to see whether Viacom keeps the Channel 5 offshoot channels or launch more of their own branded channels such as Spike and TV Land.
