CBS Broadcast International was the second syndication company created by CBS, Inc. Previously, the CBS library was distributed by [[Viacom (1952-2006)|Viacom Enterprises]], a spun-off company from CBS due to fin-syn rules, which only applied in the United States and territories. On August 10, 2004, Viacom, Inc. merged CBS Broadcast International with [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount International Television]] to form [[CBS Studios|CBS Paramount International Television]] (later "[[ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group|CBS Studios International]]" and now the "ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group"). | CBS Broadcast International was the second syndication company created by CBS, Inc.
