CBS is one of the best broadcast TV networks in the United States. It has been offering some of the most highly ranked shows for decades on end now, and is home to an array of programming including comedy, drama, action, and more. Founded in 1927, CBS started off as a radio network in Chicago until in 2017 the radio division was sold off to Entercom. From 1955 to 1976 CBS dominated television in the U.S., until it got bumped off from the top ranking by ABC.

Fast forward to 2020, CBS was the leading ad-supported network with 5.6 million average viewers throughout the year, while NBC and ABC both trailed behind. The “Eye Network” is currently operated by the CBS Entertainment Group of ViacomCBS, and looks all set to win the title of “America’s Most Watched Network” for yet another year.

CBS programming has been leading popular genres in the 2020-2021 season with top new scripted drama series like The Equalizer, The Blue Bloods, NCIS & FBI, the sought-after long-running news program 60 Minutes, and the new top ranking comedy United States of AL and 6 more. Oprah with Meghan & Harry delivered the largest primetime viewership for any entertainment special in over a year, also attracting millions worldwide. It’s no wonder TV watching families across the U.S. want access to CBS programming.
