Broadcast and Network Television
From the early days of television, three major networks took control of the industry. These are the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) and the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC). Newer networks such as Fox and UPN have appeared in recent years. America also has several thousand local television stations. Most of them are affiliated with one of the major networks. These stations will show a combination of their own shows and the national entertainment and news shows broadcast by the networks.
