The entertainment finance firm Content Partners LLC has acquired a fifty-percent interest in the CSI franchise from an affiliate of Goldman Sachs. This makes Content Partners an equal stakeholder, with CBS Corporation owning the other fifty-percent interest in the franchise. This type of transaction provides the sellers with liquid assets; in exchange, Content Partners now owns half of the future production company revenue from old and new episodes of all three series.
