The black and white nameplate of CBS News before the network started using its "eye" logo. CBS News started broadcasting in 1920s as a radio broadcast. It was not until July 21, 1931that CBS began its first regularly scheduled television broadcast on an experimental station, W2XAB, in New York City. On October 20, 1951, the CBS "Eye" logo was introduced to the public and replaced the nameplate originally used as the network identification piece during station breaks. Martin J.

Daily Show host Jon Stewart wore this solid blue necktie with a suit on the last episode of the show he hosted, August 26, 2015.
From 1999 to 2015, Jon Stewart anchored The Daily Show, Comedy Central’s nightly satirical television newscast. The show sometimes functioned as a parody of television news, especially the 24-hour cable news networks whose programming grew increasingly sensational and politically polarizing in the early 2000s. Stewart’s well-informed but exasperated commentary on the absurdities of the American political system and media landscape made the show a hit, especially among young viewers. According to a poll by Pew research, by 2014, 12% of Americans got their news from The Daily Show, roughly the same reach as the national newspaper USA Today. Some commentators noted that “infotainment” programs like The Daily Show contributed to the same worrisome fusion of entertainment and news and decline of trust in journalism as cable news was creating. Several studies, however, showed that viewers of the program were just as accurately informed about current events as regular viewers of traditional broadcast news.
