CBS purchase

In August 2004, already holding a 38% stake in the company, Viacom announced that it would acquire the remainder of SportsLine in a deal valued at $46 million ($1.75 per-share) and re-align it with the CBS Sports division (owing to Viacom's ownership of CBS at the time). The company originally operated as a division of CBS Sports, reporting to its president Sean McManus.

Fantasy Sports

CBSSports.com started producing fantasy sports games in 1997. In 1998, they partnered with Daedalus Worldwide Corporation, a producer of online fantasy sports products. In 1999, they acquired Daedalus Worldwide Corporation.

In August 2015, the SportsLine brand was revived for a new subscription-based site featuring statistics, sports betting and handicapping content. CBS continues to own the site.
