CBS actually is setting pretty well to be an independent streaming entertainment provider. They have a few properties that are doing well, and they can license those or handle them in-house as they wish. That might make them an attractive buy-out target (I think a merger with Paramount, long term, may be inevitable) but may also leave them leaner than the big guys and able to compete.
I'm seeing myself type about the Matlock and Murder She Wrote Network like it's the youthful competitor in a race with old slothful giants like Netflix and Amazon, and I am shaking my head at myself.
