CBS’s Les Moonves Mulls Buy of Cable Channel Starz

Deadline: Could CBS, which owns pay cable network Showtime, add another premium cable player, Starz, to its portfolio? CBS is said to be kicking the tires on acquiring Starz, one of several content companies the broadcasting giant has expressed interest in. If a deal comes to fruition, it would mark the first major acquisition move by Les Moonves since he was named chairman of CBS last month, replacing Sumner Redstone.
