Netflix, Amazon and other digital platforms may be new competition for traditional broadcast and cable networks, but they are also becoming valuable revenue sources as well.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it involves the song "I Will Always Love You. " The moment stars singer Jennifer Hudson, who during the telecast performed a heartbreaking rendition of Houston's signature song. It's the rehearsed version, however, within this behind-the-scenes documentary airing Saturday night that chronicles how Grammy producers and musicians scrambled and adapted to the tragic news, that packs the most wallop.

NEW YORK - It's not quite 8 a.m. on a Monday morning, and in a dark control room on West 57th Street, Chris Licht, executive producer of "CBS This Morning," has already been up for nearly four hours. It's the day after the Golden Globes, and both NBC's "Today" and ABC's "Good Morning America" lead with segments about the awards show; "CBS This Morning" opts for a report on the flu epidemic.

Some bands wait years to reach the Grammy stage. The rock band Within Reason won on the strength of a monthlong social media campaign. The Alabama group was selected from among 1,500 contenders from around the country who vied for the chance to perform in front of a live audience and be featured as part of CBS' online coverage of the Grammy Awards.

"The Job," which premieres Friday on CBS, puts a reality-show spin on the hiring process - which is to say, it does explicitly what many reality shows do figuratively. Here, five "highly qualified candidates," a new batch each week, sell themselves to a tribunal of executives who will hire one for their company (also new each week) within the hour. Linking their series to the weak economy and job market, the producers (including Mark Burnett of "Survivor" and "Shark Tank" and "The Celebrity Apprentice")

In a new report, the industry consulting firm SNL Kagan says CBS "likely broke even or lost a little money" on its broadcast of the Super Bowl last Sunday. SNL Kagan arrived at that conclusion with some simple arithmetic. CBS, the firm said, took in $240 million in ad revenue from the game and calculated that its production cost and license fees were probably more than that.
