35. The Tiffany Network!

Wed Feb 18, 2026, 01:27 PM

Wednesday

It sure sounds good until you find out that Tiffany is associated with CBS from the 1950s when CBS was selling televisions from their high end stores.
Thus the Tiffany Network.
This was built on the PERCEIVED excellence of the network.
Memories of Murrow from the War were still strong and then comes Walter Cronkite.

Nobody ever questioned why it was The Tiffany Network.
Doesn't seem so special anymore, does it?

Tiffany no longer sells televisions and CBS no longer has any credibility.
