CBS’s Showtime to Take On HBO Overseas, Online

Bloomberg: CBS’s premium cable network Showtime has evolved into a creative powerhouse with a deep bench of popular shows, including “Homeland,” “Shameless” and “Ray Donovan.” Now the business is starting to hit the limits of growth in traditional TV in the U.S. as viewers flock to Netflix and Amazon. In a first for the network, Showtime will give online subscribers the chance to watch all six episodes of the new comedy “Dice” the day it premieres.
