Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1 ) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business- CBS Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” or “CBS Corp.”) is comprised of the following segments: Entertainment (CBS Television, comprised of the CBS Television Network, CBS Television Studios and CBS Global Distribution Group; CBS Interactive and CBS Films), Cable Networks (Showtime Networks, CBS Sports Network and Smithsonian Networks), Publishing (Simon & Schuster) and Local Broadcasting (CBS Television Stations and CBS Radio). Basis of Presentation -The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the more detailed financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Use of Estimates -The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Other Operating Items, Net -Other operating items, net for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 includes gains from the sales of businesses, and for 2016 also includes a multiyear, retroactive impact of a new operating tax. Net Earnings per Common Share -Basic net earnings per share (“EPS”) is based upon net earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. Excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive, were 8 million and 5 million stock options and RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The table below presents a reconciliation of weighted average shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Three Months Ended March 31, (in millions) 2016 2015 Weighted average shares for basic EPS 459 498 Dilutive effect of shares issuable under stock-based compensation plans 5 8 Weighted average shares for diluted EPS 464 506 Other Liabilities -Other liabilities consist primarily of the noncurrent portion of residual liabilities of previously disposed businesses, participants’ share and royalties payable, program rights obligations, deferred compensation and other employee benefit accruals. Additional Paid-In Capital -For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Company recorded dividends of $69 million and $75 million , respectively, as a reduction to additional paid-in capital as the Company had an accumulated deficit balance. Adoption of New Accounting Standards Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments During the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted amended Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance which eliminates the requirement to retrospectively account for adjustments to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination when new information is obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Under the amended guidance the acquirer is required to recognize such adjustments in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are identified. Such adjustments also include the effect on earnings from any changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects resulting from the change to provisional amounts, as if the change occurred at the acquisition date. The amendment also requires disclosure or separate presentation on the face of the income statement of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items During the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted amended FASB guidance which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. This guidance removes the requirement to assess whether an event or transaction is both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence and to separately present any such items on the statement of operations after income from continuing operations. Rather, such items are required to be presented as a separate component of income from continuing operations or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period During the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted FASB guidance on the accounting for stock-based compensation when the terms of an award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. Under this guidance, such performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company should begin recognizing compensation cost in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved, for the cumulative amount of compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recent Pronouncements Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In March 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. Under this amended guidance, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies will be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement in the period in which the awards vest or are exercised. In the statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits should be classified with other income tax cash flows in operating activities. The amended guidance also gives the option to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur and increases the threshold for awards that are partially settled in cash to qualify for equity classification. The Company expects that the adoption of this guidance will introduce volatility into the Company’s income tax provision, which will be impacted by the timing of employee exercises and changes in the Company’s stock price. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the accounting for leases, which supersedes previous lease guidance. Under this guidance, for all leases with terms in excess of one year, including operating leases, the Company will be required to recognize on its balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new guidance retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases and the classification criteria is substantially similar to previous guidance. Additionally, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated balance sheets. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance which requires management to evaluate, for each interim and annual reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. If management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt, disclosures are required in the financial statements, including any plans that will alleviate the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This guidance, which is effective for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016, is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of revenues which provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers and supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance. The main principle under this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue at the amount it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers. The Company anticipates that this guidance will result in changes to its revenue recognition and is currently assessing the impact. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. |

Class B Common Stock with a weighted average per unit grant-date fair value of $45.74 . RSUs granted during the first quarter of 2016 generally vest over a one - to four -year service period. Compensation expense for RSUs is determined based upon the market price of the shares underlying the awards on the date of grant. For certain RSU awards the number of shares an employee earns ranges from 0% to 120% of the target award, based on the outcome of established performance conditions. Compensation expense is recorded based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , the Company also granted 2 million stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $45.79 . Stock options granted during the first quarter of 2016 vest over a four -year service period and expire eight years from the date of grant. Compensation expense for stock options is determined based on the grant date fair value of the award calculated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs at March 31, 2016 was $286 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years . Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards at March 31, 2016 was $65 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years . |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 9 ) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Guarantees The Company has indemnification obligations with respect to letters of credit and surety bonds primarily used as security against non-performance in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2016 , the outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds approximated $110 million and were not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In the course of its business, the Company both provides and receives indemnities which are intended to allocate certain risks associated with business transactions. Similarly, the Company may remain contingently liable for various obligations of a business that has been divested in the event that a third party does not live up to its obligations under an indemnification obligation. The Company records a liability for its indemnification obligations and other contingent liabilities when probable and reasonably estimable. Legal Matters General. On an ongoing basis, the Company vigorously defends itself in numerous lawsuits and proceedings and responds to various investigations and inquiries from federal, state, local and international authorities (collectively, ‘‘litigation’’). Litigation may be brought against the Company without merit, is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. However, based on its understanding and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company believes that the below-described legal matters and other litigation to which it is a party are not likely, in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Under the Separation Agreement between the Company and Viacom Inc., the Company and Viacom Inc. have agreed to defend and indemnify the other in certain litigation in which the Company and/or Viacom Inc. is named. Claims Related to Former Businesses: Asbestos. The Company is a defendant in lawsuits claiming various personal injuries related to asbestos and other materials, which allegedly occurred principally as a result of exposure caused by various products manufactured by Westinghouse, a predecessor, generally prior to the early 1970s. Westinghouse was neither a producer nor a manufacturer of asbestos. The Company is typically named as one of a large number of defendants in both state and federal cases. In the majority of asbestos lawsuits, the plaintiffs have not identified which of the Company’s products is the basis of a claim. Claims against the Company in which a product has been identified principally relate to exposures allegedly caused by asbestos-containing insulating material in turbines sold for power-generation, industrial and marine use. Claims are frequently filed and/or settled in groups, which may make the amount and timing of settlements, and the number of pending claims, subject to significant fluctuation from period to period. The Company does not report as pending those claims on inactive, stayed, deferred or similar dockets which some jurisdictions have established for claimants who allege minimal or no impairment. As of March 31, 2016 , the Company had pending approximately 35,040 asbestos claims, as compared with approximately 36,030 as of December 31, 2015 and 40,090 as of March 31, 2015 . During the first quarter of 2016 , the Company received approximately 1,180 new claims and closed or moved to an inactive docket approximately 2,170 claims. The Company reports claims as closed when it becomes aware that a dismissal order has been entered by a court or when the Company has reached agreement with the claimants on the material terms of a settlement. Settlement costs depend on the seriousness of the injuries that form the basis of the claims, the quality of evidence supporting the claims and other factors. In 2015 , as the result of an insurance settlement, insurance recoveries exceeded the Company’s after tax costs for settlement and defense of asbestos claims by approximately $5 million . In 2014 , the Company’s costs for settlement and defense of asbestos claims after insurance and taxes were approximately $11 million . The Company’s costs for settlement and defense of asbestos claims may vary year to year and insurance proceeds are not always recovered in the same period as the insured portion of the expenses. The Company believes that its reserves and insurance are adequate to cover its asbestos liabilities. This belief is based upon many factors and assumptions, including the number of outstanding claims, estimated average cost per claim, the breakdown of claims by disease type, historic claim filings, costs per claim of resolution and the filing of new claims. While the number of asbestos claims filed against the Company has trended down in the past five to ten years and has remained flat in recent years, it is difficult to predict future asbestos liabilities, as events and circumstances may occur including, among others, the number and types of claims and average cost to resolve such claims, which could affect the Company’s estimate of its asbestos liabilities. Other. The Company from time to time receives claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and other entities asserting that it is or may be liable for environmental cleanup costs and related damages principally relating to historical and predecessor operations of the Company. In addition, the Company from time to time receives personal injury claims including toxic tort and product liability claims (other than asbestos) arising from historical operations of the Company and its predecessors. |

Restructuring Charges [Abstract] | |
Restructuring Charges | 10 ) RESTRUCTURING CHARGES During the year ended December 31, 2015 , in a continued effort to reduce its cost structure, the Company initiated restructuring plans across several of its businesses, primarily for the reorganization of certain business operations. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $81 million , reflecting $48 million of severance costs and $33 million of costs associated with exiting contractual obligations and other related costs. During the year ended December 31, 2014 , the Company recorded restructuring charges of $26 million reflecting $17 million of severance costs and $9 million of costs associated with exiting contractual obligations. As of March 31, 2016 , the cumulative settlements for the 2015 and 2014 restructuring charges were $67 million , of which $41 million was for severance costs and $26 million was for costs associated with contractual obligations. The Company expects to substantially utilize its restructuring reserves by the end of 2016 .

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements | 11 ) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company’s carrying value of financial instruments approximates fair value, except for notes and debentures, which are not recorded at fair value. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the carrying value of the Company’s senior debt was $8.17 billion and $8.37 billion , respectively, and the fair value, which is estimated based on quoted market prices for similar liabilities (Level 2) and includes accrued interest, was $8.96 billion and $8.78 billion , respectively. The Company uses derivative financial instruments primarily to modify its exposure to market risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments unless there is an underlying exposure and, therefore, the Company does not hold or enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. Foreign Exchange Contracts Foreign exchange forward contracts have principally been used to hedge projected cash flows, in currencies such as the British Pound, the Euro, the Canadian Dollar and the Australian Dollar, generally for periods up to 24 months. The Company designates forward contracts used to hedge committed and forecasted foreign currency transactions as cash flow hedges. Gains or losses on the effective portion of designated cash flow hedges are initially recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified to the statement of operations when the hedged item is recognized. Additionally, the Company enters into non-designated forward contracts to hedge non-U.S. dollar denominated cash flows. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the notional amount of all foreign exchange contracts was $340 million and $291 million , respectively. Gains (losses) recognized on derivative financial instruments were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 Financial Statement Account Non-designated foreign exchange contracts $ (6 ) $ 13 Other items, net Designated interest rate swaps (a) $ — $ 2 Interest expense (a) The gain during the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to interest rate swaps that were settled during 2015 . The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments was not material to the Consolidated Balance Sheets for any of the periods presented. The following tables set forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . These assets and liabilities have been categorized according to the three-level fair value hierarchy established by the FASB, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. Level 1 is based on publicly quoted prices for the asset or liability in active markets. Level 2 is based on inputs that are observable other than quoted market prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for the asset or liability in inactive markets or quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities. Level 3 is based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. At March 31, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Foreign currency hedges $ — $ 9 $ — $ 9 Total Assets $ — $ 9 $ — $ 9 Liabilities: Deferred compensation $ — $ 313 $ — $ 313 Foreign currency hedges — 7 — 7 Total Liabilities $ — $ 320 $ — $ 320 At December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Foreign currency hedges $ — $ 13 $ — $ 13 Total Assets $ — $ 13 $ — $ 13 Liabilities: Deferred compensation $ — $ 312 $ — $ 312 Total Liabilities $ — $ 312 $ — $ 312 The fair value of foreign currency hedges is determined based on the present value of future cash flows using observable inputs including foreign currency exchange rates. The fair value of deferred compensation liabilities is determined based on the fair value of the investments elected by employees. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates -The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |
Earnings Per Share | Net Earnings per Common Share -Basic net earnings per share (“EPS”) is based upon net earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. |
