NEW YORK and CUPERTINO, California -- June 8, 2006 -- CBS Corporation
(NYSE: CBS, CBS.A) and Apple today announced that prime time
programming from America's Number One network is now available on the
iTunes Music Store (www.itunes.com). The CBS Television Network
programming available for purchase and download includes the Emmy
Award-winning reality series "Survivor," the popular dramas "NUMB3RS"
and "NCIS" and top-rated CSI programs: "CSI: Crime Scene
Investigation," "CSI: Miami," and "CSI: NY." iTunes now offers over
100 TV shows for $1.99 per episode for viewing on a computer or iPod,
and is the world's most popular online video store with over 30
million videos sold.

"We're bringing popular and acclaimed programs from the most watched
television network -- including 'CSI' and 'Survivor' -- to iTunes,"
said Larry Kramer, President, CBS Digital Media. "iTunes has proven
that people enjoy viewing shows on their computer or iPod, which
provides an opportunity to reach new audiences with our hit shows and
gives our existing viewers a chance to catch up on missed episodes."

"We're thrilled to bring award-winning shows from CBS to the iTunes
Music Store," said Eddy Cue, Apple's Vice President of iTunes. "We
think viewers are going to love being able to download their favorite
episodes of hits such as 'CSI' and 'Survivor' for viewing on their
computer or iPod."

The new CBS offerings include episodes from the just-completed
2005/2006 season, and earlier for some series, as well as the upcoming
season which starts in September. New episodes in the fall will be
available on iTunes the day after they appear on the network.

Earlier this year, CBS Sports made the 2006 NCAA Men's Basketball
Tournament available on iTunes, and Showtime, which is a division of
CBS Corporation, brought iTunes customers two of their most popular
series: "Sleeper Cell" and "Weeds."
