  1. Comment - CBS opens up more of its classic TV library

    (May 21, 2008 - 8:39 AM)

    Your quite right, most of these shows nevered aired on CBS TV. The article is a bit misleading. The "CBS" being referred to in the article is CBS Paramount Network Television, the successor company to both Paramount Television and CBS Productions (as well as a few others thrown in such as Desilu Productions). CBS Paramount owns a lot of programming, much of which never ran on the CBS TV network.

    With rare exceptions, none of the five broadcast networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CW) actually own the programs they broadcast. They pay for the rights to broadcast programming made by various studios, some of which ARE owned by the networks but run as separate divisions. For example, ABC has ABC Studios (formerly Touchstone Television), NBC has Universal Media Studios (aka NBC Universal Inc.), CBS and CW both have CBS Paramount and Fox has 20th Century Fox Televsion.

  2. Comment - Microsoft Delivers New Vista Beta Build

    Hi Nate,

    I just spoke with an MSDN representative. He told me that while a future post-Beta 2 release of Windows Vista will be made available to MSDN subscribers sometime within the next few weeks, it will not be 5472. And to confirm this, I have checked with the current download list at MSDN and 5472 is not posted.

  3. Comment - European Union Could Split Sony BMG

    Boy I long for the days of old when Columbia and Epic and their associated labels were part of CBS Records and Sony's only involvement was in a joint company called CBS Sony that sold music only in Japan.
