Quieting speculation that Leslie Moonves would jump to Warner Bros., CBS last week said he has signed on again as president-CEO of CBS Television.

Broadcasting & Cable, August, 1999

A new long-term agreement supplants a five-year pact set to expire next year. Having taken the network to No. 1 in households, it's presumed Moonves got a big raise, but terms were not disclosed. He has earned $4 million a year in salary and bonuses for the past three years, according to a filing with the SEC.

In 1997, he also received stock options for 500,000 shares with an exercise price of $21.75, and 290,000 shares exercisable at $24.31.
