List of CBS television affiliates (table)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The CBS Television Network is an American television network made up of 16 owned-and-operated stations and nearly 200 affiliates. This is a table listing of CBS's affiliates, with CBS-owned stations separated from privately owned affiliates, and arranged by market ranking based on data compiled by Nielsen Media Research. There are links to and articles on each of the stations, describing their local programming, hosts and technical information, such as broadcast frequencies

The station's advertised channel number follows the call letters. In most cases, this is their over-the-air (analog) broadcast frequency.

Notes:

1) ** WCBS-TV is the only station built and signed-on by CBS;
2) ++ Indicates a station owned by Westinghouse Broadcasting prior to its acquisition of CBS in 1995;
3) Does not include CBS-owned stations affiliated with the CW Television Network.
