The sales unit would blame the recession anyway.

Here are figures from CBS's 10-K report; if I understand this right, 
it's the ad revenue of their local TV and radio stations combined:

2008: $2.95 B
2009: $2.36 B
2010: $2.78 B

So ad revenue in 2010 remained below '08 levels.  Maybe someday ad 
revenue will be high enough to support live weekend programming.  I hope 
it's soon, because those infomercials will seem pretty lame on summer 
weekends.
