CBS (CBS) had a big quarter. The entertainment giant posted strong earnings -- with second-quarter revenue up 10% from a year ago. It also saw growth in subscribers for its streaming platforms. CBS plans to launch a kids programming area on its All Access service later this year. But there was no word on the call about a potential merger with Viacom (VIA).
