CBS, for now, agreed not to invoke a state law.

Steve Morrison, a lawyer in Columbia, S.C., for Ted Turner, the cable-TV magnate, said the network has agreed to give Turner 48 hours’ warning before trying to enforce a South Carolina law that could delay Turner’s bid to acquire CBS. “If they (CBS) give us notice that they intend to enforce the act, or request enforcement, then we will go to court to stop that,” Morrison said, adding that he believes that CBS does not want to “waste the money” fighting for a law that “they agree . . . likely is unconstitutional.”
