Tech Central Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tech Central Station (TCS) is the former name of TCS Daily; the acronym now apparently stands for 'Technology, Commerce, Society.'
TCSDaily was published by DCI Group, a lobbying and PR firm based in Washington, DC, until September 19, 2006 when it was sold to its editor, Nick Schultz. Before the sale it was hosted by James K. Glassman, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and syndicated columnist for Scripps Howard News Service. He also writes a monthly financial column for Kiplinger's Personal Finance. TCS was primarily funded by sponsors that currently or previously have included AT&T, The Coca-Cola Company, ExxonMobil, General Motors Corporation, McDonalds, Merck, Microsoft, Nasdaq, and PhRMA. However, according to the website, the sale of the journal in 2006 rendered all previous sponsorships expired.
