CBS built its reputation on news, from Edward R. Murrow's wartime radio broadcasts to 60 Minutes, which has run since 1968. Its eye logo, designed in 1951, is among the longest-serving corporate marks in American broadcasting. It was known for decades as the Tiffany Network, a nickname earned by the quality of its programming and by its early lead in colour broadcasting.

How often Paramount Skydance names CBS in its annual report
A plain count of the times the name appears in the text of each annual report, not counting the start of a sentence. A brand that an owner writes about more is usually one it treats as central.
Paramount Skydance is a publicly listed company headquartered in Los Angeles, California, United States, founded in 1912. Brandtree records 8 brands under its control, and it is listed as NASDAQ: PSKY.
Paramount Skydance was formed in 2025 when David Ellison's Skydance Media merged with Paramount Global, ending the Redstone family's control of CBS and Paramount. The company holds one of the oldest studios in Hollywood alongside a large cable network portfolio in long-term decline.
Brandtree records a controlling owner for 2,549 brands that began in the United States.
478 of them (19%) are now controlled by a company headquartered in another country; CBS is not one of them.
Skydance Media, controlled by the Ellison family, combined with Paramount Global to form Paramount Skydance Corporation, ending the control National Amusements and the Redstone family had held over CBS and Paramount Pictures. Paramount Class A holders could take $23.00 in cash a share and Class B holders $15.00, and because the deal transferred control of CBS's television station licences it needed the consent of the Federal Communications Commission, which granted it over one commissioner's dissent.
The FCC granted the transfer of control of Paramount Global, including its CBS owned-and-operated television stations, from the Redstone-controlled National Amusements to Skydance and the Ellison family, with Commissioner Gomez dissenting. The order found no material public interest harm and granted the applications on the strength of commitments from Skydance that it described as firm and definite, although they were not written into the licences as formal conditions.
