(Reuters) – CBS Corp <CBS.N> missed Wall Street estimates for quarterly revenue on Tuesday, sending its shares down nearly 2% in premarket trading.

The owner of popular television channels such as Nickelodeon and MTV posted a 1% rise in revenue to $3.30 billion, but missed analysts’ average estimate of $3.36 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. [nPn71wrzRa]
