- Synopsis
- William S. Paley was a founder and chairman of CBS, one of the major television networks in the United States. Under his leadership, CBS introduced the first successful worldwide new broadcast. He fought against radio censorship, particularly in terms of news reporting about World War II. In the 1950s, he promoted Edward R. Murrow to be one of the newscasters for CBS News, starting a news dynasty. He led CBS into television, with CBS leading prime time broadcasting ratings from 1955 through 1976. He was also the owner of the N.Y. Yankees baseball team from 1964 to 1976.
