The network is releasing more details about its upcoming plans to stream shows for free on CBS.com. In addition to Survivor, CSI, Jericho and Numb3rs, CBS will also stream the first four episodes of Shark and Smith, The Class, The Unit, How I Met Your Mother and The Adventures of Old Christine. The additional shows are produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television or Warner Bros. Television — both of which required some negiotiation because they’re not owned by CBS. “It’s because of our strong relationship with our partners at Twentieth Television and Warner Bros. that we were able to come to this first-of-its-kind agreement, which recognizes the great opportunities available for both networks and studios in connecting television and online platforms,” said Nancy Tellem, President, CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group.
