CBS (corporate name CBS Broadcasting, Inc.) is an American commercial broadcast television network, which started as a radio network; it continues to operate a radio network and a portfolio of television and radio stations in large and mid-sized markets. The name is derived from the initials of the network's former name, Columbia Broadcasting System. It is the second largest broadcaster in the world, behind the BBC. The network is sometimes referred to as the "Eye Network", in reference to the shape of the company's logo. It has also been called the "Tiffany Network", which alludes to the perceived high quality of CBS programming during the tenure of its founder William S. Paley.

It can also refer to some of CBS's first demonstrations of color television, which were held in a former Tiffany & Co. building in New York City in 1950.

CBS has had a long history with the Looney Tunes, starting with The Road Runner Show in 1966, and ending with the TV special, Bugs Bunny's Creature Features, on February 1, 1992. The last Looney Tunes TV show to air on CBS was The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show, which ended in 1985 due to ABC regaining the Looney Tunes package of cartoons. CBS also aired the first episode of Tiny Toon Adventures.
