May 1 (Reuters) – Broadcaster CBS Corp reported

higher profit for the first quarter, helped by advertising

during February’s Super Bowl broadcast and a jump in revenue

from cable channels.

Net earnings for the January through March period totaled

$463 million, up from $394 million a year earlier, CBS said on

Wednesday. Adjusted earnings per share reached 73 cents.
