first job was at WTOP-TV, in 1963. The station provided production
facilities for all CBS television originating from DC...studio and
remote. It was a great place to be in '63.</p>

<DIV>
<DIV>Today is the 90th anniversary of the Columbia Phonographic Broadcasting
System's first broadcast.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Back then, that meant radio. Today's CBS Corporation is shedding its
radio
arm in a merger with Pennsylvania based Entercom. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It's a complicated business "dance" that takes 300 pages to describe
in SEC
filings. </DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>10 years from now, will CBS radio hold a 100th anniversary
celebration?<BR><BR>And will CBS television try to assert that it is 100 years
old?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>CBS television's first broadcast was July 1st of 1941.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You can read more about the companies'business and broadcast history
here...<BR><BR></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>... Including its growth from a 16 station chain founded by a New York
talent agent, purchase by The manufacturer of Columbia Records and
Columbia Phonographs, and how William S. Paley became a controlling owner
and grew the company into a major broadcast entity.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Along the way, the company has had involvement with program production,
equipment development and manufacturing (CBS Labs, HyTron,) and
publishing.<BR><BR>It's had a variety of controlling ownership, including
William S Paley, who brought Paramont pictures into a 49% ownership position,
and then built the radio network into a powerhouse that enabled
Columbia to
buy back the stock from Paramount.<BR><BR>CBS's history is an interesting
read. </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Happy 90th Anniversary. We may not get to wish you 💯. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We now return you to your regularly scheduled activity.</DIV>
