Vlogger Go Viral has the CBS logo on the coin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.152.81 (talk) 00:29, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
The Batiste material was removed here today. I restored it at John Batiste with better sourcing and some tweaks for accuracy. Anythingyouwant (talk) 17:12, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
Isn't the War of the Worlds broadcast panic a myth? That section of the article might need to be double checked and corrected with different, reliable, and verifiable sources.

"Under network president Jeff Sagansky, the network was able to earn strong ratings from new shows Diagnosis: Murder; Touched by an Angel; Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman; Walker, Texas Ranger, Picket Fences and a resurgent Jake and the Fatman during this period, and CBS was able to reclaim the first place crown briefly, in the 1992–93 season..."
I think this sentence may need to be revised. Didn't Jake and the Fatman get cancelled after the 1991-92 season (before all the other shows mentioned in this sentence even debuted)? Jim856796 (talk) 18:05, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
Today I edited away the claim in a photo caption that Charlie Chaplin "chose CBS" to introduce the public to his voice after having done silent film for 20 years, because there was no source, and because the notes on the photograph provided no basis for the idea that this was his first use of radio.
Doing further research, I find that Chaplin was on the radio as early as 1923, before CBS was even on the air. As such, not only should my edits not be undone, we may want to consider removing the image altogether; it's hard to see that CBS did anything particularly notable for Chaplin, nor vice versa. --Nat Gertler (talk) 23:13, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
I've heard a story that goes that Lucille Ball didn't like CBS' "spotlight" logo, and requested that it be changed to the familiar eyemark used today. Is this true or another television urban legend? MightyArms (talk) 19:45, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
I think this part in the lead needs more clarification:
It has also been called the Tiffany Network, alluding to the perceived high quality of its programming during the tenure of William S. Paley.
Where does the name Tiffany factor into this explanation? Is the "perceived high quality" of CBS under Paley being likened to the quality of Tiffany lamps? 199.120.30.205 (talk) 23:34, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
The history section is too long and may be better off separated to a different article. kpgamingz (rant me) 18:20, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
Should we add a section for CBS Entertainment Group? After all, it is only one of five divisions of Paramount Global that either needs its own article or a section in the CBS article. RamsesTimeGame (talk) 04:40, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
