"As great as these last few years have been, this quarter tops it all," Redstone said. "What's most exciting is that we are poised to benefit from all of the strategic actions we've taken - and continue to take - for a long, long time. We have the best content and the right management to ensure success, and as a result, I have never been more confident about our Company's future than I am today."
