Template:Deletion-request Template:Channel CBS Broadcasting Inc., commonly shortened to CBS (an abbreviation of its original name, Columbia Broadcasting System), is an American commercial broadcast television and radio network. It is one of the original "Big Three" television networks, along with NBC and ABC. It is the flagship property of the CBS Entertainment Group division of Paramount Global and is one of the company's three flagship subsidiaries, along with Paramount Pictures and MTV.

CBS originally founded Viacom in 1952 as their syndication division, eventually being spun-off into a separate company in 1971.

-Headquartered at the {{W|CBS Building}} in {{W|New York City}} and being part of the "{{W|Big Three (American television)|Big Three}}" television networks, CBS has major production facilities and operations at the {{W|CBS Broadcast Center}} and the headquarters of owner Paramount at {{W|One Astor Plaza}} (both also in that city) and {{W|Television City}} and the {{W|CBS Studio Center}} in [[Los Angeles]]. It is sometimes referred to as the '''Eye Network''', after the company's trademark symbol of an eye (which has been in use since October 20, 1951), and also the '''Tiffany Network''', which alludes to the perceived high quality of its programming during the tenure of {{W|William S. Paley}} (and can also refer to some of CBS's first demonstrations of {{W|color television}}, which were held in the former {{W|Tiffany and Company Building}} in New York City in 1950). "[[It's a SpongeBob Christmas!]]" aired on this network.
