CBS (an initialism of the network's name from 1928 to 1974, the Columbia Broadcasting System) is a major U.S. television network, which started as a radio network. The network is sometimes referred to as the "Eye Network" in reference to the shape of the network's logo. It is the flagship subsidiary of ViacomCBS, and is based in New York City.
Prior to Disney's purchase of the American Broadcasting Company, several Disney shows were originally aired on CBS. The Walt Disney anthology series ran on CBS from the fall of 1981 through the summer of 1983 as Walt Disney Presents. Some of Disney's television cartoons also ran as part of their Saturday morning-line up, including some that ran simultaneously on The Disney Afternoon.
CBS is also the owner of The Twilight Zone franchise, which it licensed out to Walt Disney Parks and Resorts for its Twilight Zone Tower of Terror attractions at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney California Adventure, and Walt Disney Studios Park.
