The irony is that most CBS stations are profitable, and make plenty of money. CBS is looking to exit radio, but other radio professionals I've read say that they're not in a hurry to sell their stations and ditch radio completely just yet, because the online and video alternatives (aside from CBS TV) are still a bit dicey (concerning whether they can turn a profit).
