Cory Bergman November 13th, 2006

B&C has an interview with 35-year-old Quincy Smith, who took over as president of CBS’ interactive division, replacing Larry Kramer. Here’s how he answered the question, is your priority buying new businesses or building them?

“We’re looking to do everything we can to make sure our content is seen and we’re getting paid for it. We’re all about generating a community around user-generated content, but there’s also commercial application that can get our content out just as aggressively and effectively as an acquisition. So I’m going to be looking a lot of times at larger commercial deals.”
