CBS
CBS is an American commercial broadcast television and radio network that serves as the flagship property of the CBS Entertainment Group division of Paramount Global. The network is headquartered at the CBS Building in New York City, with major production facilities and operations at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City, Paramount headquarters One Astor Plaza in Times Square, and CBS Television City and the CBS Studio Center in Los Angeles. CBS was originally an abbreviation for Columbia Broadcasting System, its former legal name that was used from 1928 to 1974. It is also sometimes referred to as the Eye Network, in reference to the company's trademark symbol, in use since 1951. It has also been called the Tiffany Network, alluding to the perceived high quality of its programming during the tenure of William S. Paley. It can also refer to some of CBS's first demonstrations of color television, which were held in the former Tiffany and Company Building in New York City in 1950.
