I can't imagine people growing to the name CBS as opposed to Channel 5. In comparison to both, CBS feels a lot more premium and well known for it's somewhat prestige programming, and while Channel 5 has slowly been adding on to that thanks to the common ownership with Paramount, I doubt it'll strike a core to it's viewers. The only feasible way I could imagine the CBS name being implemented to their channels is by calling themselves "CBS 5" but even that's a bit dry.
Plus, what are the sub channels gonna be called? CBSStar? CBSUSA? CBS Action? Oh wait, they already did that one.
Very well put, also the ''CBS 5'' name would be very confusing, because there are CBS stations in the USA that are actually on channel 5
