CBS Corporation President and CEO Leslie Moonves to Discuss Opportunities for Radio at 2012 Radio Show

WASHINGTON & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Organizers of the Radio Show, jointly produced by the Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB) and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), announced today that CBS Corporation President and CEO Leslie Moonves will participate in a question-and-answer session with NAB President and CEO Gordon Smith on Wednesday, September 19, following opening remarks by Smith and RAB President and CEO Erica Farber. The Radio Show will be held September 19-21 in Dallas.

Moonves is president and chief executive officer of CBS Corporation, one of the world's largest media enterprises. In this role, he oversees all operations of the company, including CBS Radio, the CBS Television Network, The CW (a joint venture between CBS Corporation and Warner Bros. Entertainment), CBS Television Stations, CBS Television Studios, CBS Studios International, CBS Television Distribution, Showtime Networks, CBS Sports Network, CBS Outdoor, Simon & Schuster, CBS Interactive, CBS Consumer Products, CBS Home Entertainment, CBS Films and EcoMedia.

Moonves and Smith will discuss the changing media landscape and what is on the horizon for radio, including trends in business development, programming and advertising, innovations in technology and new opportunities for revenue and growth.

CBS Radio draws nearly 70 million unique over-the-air listeners each week. Its 130 stations in 28 markets cover news, sports, talk, rock, country, Top 40, classic hits and urban formats, among others. Popular talent includes Carson Daly, Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton, Mike Francesa, Ryan Cameron, and Kevin and Bean. Additionally, CBS Radio broadcasts play-by-play coverage of many of the country's top sports franchises, including the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Chicago White Sox, New England Patriots, New York Giants and Detroit Red Wings.

CBS Local Digital Media, operating within CBS Radio, offers a truly "local" experience through the convergence of new and traditional media platforms. Websites and mobile applications available in more than two dozen markets provide the latest news, traffic, weather and sports headlines, a question and answer service, daily CBS Local Offers, Best of Guides and business directories.

Moonves came to CBS in 1995 as president of entertainment, after serving as president of Warner Bros. Television. He was promoted to president and CEO of CBS Television in 1998, and became its chairman in 2003. He was later named co-president and co-chief operating officer of Viacom and chairman of CBS in 2004, overseeing domestic and international broadcast television operations, its radio division and outdoor advertising operations.

In 2006, when Viacom split its businesses into two publicly traded companies, Moonves was named president and CEO of the newly formed CBS Corporation, which has become one of the largest and best performing companies in media, with businesses in virtually every sector. Its broadcast network, the CBS Television Network, has been #1 in viewers for nine of the past 10 years, with television's #1 drama, NCIS; the #1 comedy, THE BIG BANG THEORY; the #1 new series, PERSON OF INTEREST; the #1 news program, 60 MINUTES; and time-leading shows on virtually every night of the week.

CBS's other divisions have also been robust under Moonves' leadership. The company's push to sell its shows around the world has made international syndication sales a significant revenue source for the company, with its programs now airing in more than 100 countries and growing. By distinguishing CBS as a producer and seller of world-class content across all mediums, Moonves has helped CBS Corporation grow in value, revenue and market-share while identifying and developing key new revenue streams for future growth.

Moonves also led the company's 2010 purchase of EcoMedia, a company that improves local communities and their environments by pairing businesses with municipalities. The acquisition of EcoMedia continues the company's long-standing tradition of public service, a mandate that began when the CBS Television Network first signed on in 1928.

Moonves serves on the Board of Trustees of the Entertainment Industries Council. He is also a trustee of the National Council for Families and Television and of the American Film Institute, and is past president of the Hollywood Radio and Television Society. He is co-chair of the Los Angeles Board of Governors of the Paley Center for Media. In March 2003, Moonves was honored by the International Radio and Television Society as the recipient of the Gold Medal Award, one of most prestigious honors in media and entertainment.

President of Ghana Joins BCIU and Business Leaders in New York to Discuss Investment Opportunities

To: BUSINESS, FOREIGN AND NATIONAL EDITORS

April 25 forum allows business community to explore opportunities in Ghana with leader of one of world's fastest growing economies; trade mission to Ghana planned

NEW YORK, May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU), a White House initiative founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower for senior business executives to interact with heads of state/government, cabinet ministers and senior government officials, today announced the successful completion of a forum in New York City with His Excellency John Evans Atta Mills, President of The Republic of Ghana, and 25 business leaders from across the world. Sponsored by United States Pharmacopeia and Eni S.p.A., the BCIU forum provided a platform for President Mills to outline the strategic opportunities for investment in Ghana while also addressing the fundamental economic pillars fueling Ghana's fast growing economy. Business participants similarly outlined strategic opportunities for their companies and industries, while also engaging in a dialogue with the President on investment opportunities.

"We as a government are committed to creating the necessary environment to ensure that investors have good returns on their investments," said President Mills at the forum. "Now that Ghana's economy has been described as the fastest growing economy in the world, and at a time oil has been struck, let me be quick to say that it is our determination to ensure that this God-given resource becomes a blessing and not a curse. We want to make sure that you have a credible judicial system, you have the kind of labor which will respond to the needs of the business, that you have a system which will respond to the very needs of investors."

President Mills affirmed Ghana's commitment to democracy, the rule of law, and respect for the judicial system, outlining their significance in fostering economic growth, return on investment and job creation.

"We appreciated the President's unscripted fluency on economic priorities for Ghana and his comfort level in speaking directly and frankly with our members and international investors," said Peter Tichansky, President and CEO of BCIU. "The interest in accessing Ghanaian market across major industries - and Africa through the Ghanaian gateway - were consistent themes expressed by businesses attending the forum."

As a result of this and a previous visit by the President with the business community in New York, BCIU today announced it is organizing a trade mission to Ghana later in the year with member companies interested in further exploration of opportunities.

"As one of the largest investors in the Ghanaian oil industry from exploration to production, midstream, and power, we were thrilled to support this outstanding forum with President of Ghana," said Enzo Viscusi, Group Senior Vice President and Representative for the Americas, Eni.S.p.A. "Ghana's commitment to democracy, rule of law and sound investment protection principles has made our experience in the country very rewarding and is one we look to build upon without reservation. President Mills' administration has shown tremendous discipline and leadership, which bodes well not only for Ghana but also for the entire continent."

"While the expansion of the oil and other major industrial industries in Ghana is clearly a major priority, we are very pleased that this administration is also focused on ensuring a thriving healthcare and pharmaceutical industry," said Brian Hendrix, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP). "As a result of this commitment and the stability and economic viability of Ghana, we have announced plans to create the USP-Sub-Saharan Africa Center for Pharmaceutical Advancement and Training (CePAT) in Accra to serve sub-Sahara Africa as an integrated platform for training, education, consulting and laboratory capabilities. From Accra, we will offer a systematic approach to the quality control of medicines in sub-Saharan Africa."

"We believe Ghana offers terrific opportunities for growth and business development," said Ed DiSanto, General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer, American Tower. "As such, in December 2010 we entered into a joint venture with Africa's largest mobile operator, MTN Group Limited (MTN) and launched our operations in Ghana. TowerCo Ghana currently owns and operates nearly 1,900 wireless communication tower sites and plans to develop several hundred new towers over the next several years. We are pleased with the performance of our investment, and our team of 84 Ghanaians, and indirectly hundreds of others via our vendor relationships, are doing a great job."

"Not only are international firms interested in Ghana, but Ghanaian entrepreneurs are also investing heavily," said Humphrey Ayim - Darke, Chairman, Greater Accra Chapter, Association of Ghana Industries. "We are rapidly building our own companies, expertise and resources to serve our fast growing markets and taking advantage of our well-educated, hard working and expanding middle class. We were delighted to participate in this strategic dialogue with international investors and are eager to make it clear that U.S. companies can find outstanding local partners in Ghana."

"The Ghanaian agriculture sector, while not as high profile as oil, is nonetheless one of the most promising in the world thanks to President Mills' and past administrations' policies," said Steven Wallace, Founder and President, The Omanhene Cocoa Bean Company. "To this day, European and American chocolatiers buy cocoa beans from Ghana and export them to their chocolate factories throughout the world where the famed Ghanaian beans are transformed into some of the world's most delicious and expensive chocolate. Now, for the first time, The Omanhene Cocoa Bean Company, which is headquartered in the U.S., is producing world class chocolate entirely in Ghana and uniquely preserving all the best attributes of the finest cocoa beans in the world."

PHL officials discuss business opportunities with KSA traders

The Philippines and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia may explore business and investment opportunities in several sectors, following a meeting between Philippine embassy officials and top KSA traders in late January, the Department of Foreign Affairs said.

Philippine Ambassador Ezzedin Tago led Embassy officials in meeting with Saudi-Philippine Business Council (SPBC) President Walid Al-Suwaidan at the headquarters of the Council of the Saudi Chambers of Commerce and Industry in Riyadh.

“The two officials discussed possible business and investment opportunities in various sectors, including tourism, business process outsourcing, agriculture, halal food, and infrastructure,” the DFA said.

With Tago were Labor Attaché Albert Valenciano, Cultural Attaché Mohammad Taha Guinomla, and Economic Assistant Edison Ipac.

During the meeting, Al-Suwaidan stressed both the Saudi and Filipino people are partners in national development, and lauded Filipinos for their professionalism and skills.

"Because of our long partnership in manpower and the generations of working together, our people know each other very well," Al-Suwaidan said.

Both sides also agreed the two countries must build on this strong bond and further elevate relations in trade, investment and tourism.

For his part, Tago briefed Al-Suwaidan on recent economic developments in the Philippines.

He said the Embassy will provide the SPBC and the Council of Saudi Chambers of Commerce and Industry with regular information and updates on the investment environment and opportunities in the Philippines.

Meanwhile, Embassy officials also met with Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) Secretary General Hussein Al-Athel to discuss ways to enhance commercial relations between the two countries and their respective private sectors.

Al-Athel welcomed the Embassy's efforts to reach out to the Saudi private sector, and pledged the Secretariat's support for future endeavors that strengthen cooperation between the chambers of commerce.

“Mr. Al-Athel regularly visits the Philippines with his family.  He cited the Filipino people's hospitality and the country's natural beauty as reasons for his frequent visits,” the DFA said.

Tago noted tourism statistics show a consistent rise in visitors from Saudi Arabia.

He said the Philippines does not require a visa for Saudi nationals visiting the country for less than 21 days, and that the Embassy is promoting tourism in the Philippines and investments in the sector.

For 2010, Saudi Arabia ranked 13th as the Philippines trading partner, and 33rd as export market and 9th as import supplier.  For January to October 2011, Saudi Arabia ranked as the 10th trading partner of the Philippines.

The Philippines' top exports in 2010 and 2011 consisted of bananas and pineapples, men's wear from materials on consignment basis, and cathodes.  Imports from Saudi Arabia consist mainly of crude oil. — LBG, GMA News
