We're finally getting a glimpse at what big broadcasting companies are making from mobile content and how lucrative mobile TV services might be for them. CBS CEO Les Moonves said during its first-quarter conference call that "the Verizon V Cast deal, which lets V Cast subscribers view CBS content on their cell phones, will bring in some $3 million in incremental revenue through subscription dollars this year alone."

Later on in the conference call Moonves said the revenue from V Cast is rising and this year alone the company is going to make "over $3 million."
