The Winter TCA's continue today, with CBS now addressing the assembled media.  Out first for the US' most-watched network is Nina Tassler, Entertainment Chair.  The recerntly announced Supergirl tv show from Greg Berlanti was of course one of the first topics addressed.  Said Tassler, "As you can tell from the strength of the female characters we have on television, it's a real passion of ours.  "[Supergirl is] a story and a coming-of-age opportunity for us."
 
On why CBS is venturing into superhero territory, Tassler stated, "There is a human drama there…I think we’re watching an evolution in the way superheroes are protrayed…I think for our network, what we responded to was the character’s humanity…and the show’s arc and growth."
