"PC" and Moonves questioned the Sunday Morning News publisher about the booming trend in live internet video broadcasting, and talked a little gossip about personalities and internet broadcasters around the county.  Moonves is investing in internet businesses including the recent purchase of internet music social site Last.FM.
