I am corrected. While I couldn't find a reference to "Showtime" in the
latest CBS 10-K filing with the SEC, nor information on the same site as to
whom owns Showtime Networks, the Showtime Networks web site says that it is
a CBS company.
However, I think that CBS's valuation went up after the spin-off, and
Viacom's went down, at least over the first few years.
Must have been the loss of Showtime, no? :-)

Yes, CBS was spun out into a separate business unit ( and stock),
because it was dragging down the valuation for the Viacom cable
network businesses. But the view from the top is still the same -
control of content and distribution across business units.
