About CBS

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.
