This...Is CBS: A Chronicle of 60 Years
Last updated October 31, 2026
Robert Slater chronicles CBS from William S. Paley's purchase of a small radio network in 1928 through its six decades as a leader in American broadcasting. He covers the radio era, Edward R. Murrow's wartime reports, the move into television, CBS News under Walter Cronkite and the network's hit entertainment shows, and the turmoil of the 1980s, when Ted Turner tried to take over the company and Laurence Tisch gained control.
