The Great California CBS Caper: Where in the Golden State Does the Eye Shine Brightest?
Ah, California! Land of sunshine, surf, and... frantic flipping through TV channels trying to find CBS? Yep, even in the land of Hollywood, finding your favorite shows on the "Tiffany Network" can turn into a geographical guessing game. But fear not, fellow Californians, for I, your intrepid guide to the television wilderness, am here to shed some light (see what I did there?) on this channel conundrum.
The CBS Chameleon: Channel Numbers on the Move
Unlike that creepy guy who changes his outfit every time you see him, CBS isn't trying to be mysterious. It's just that California's a big state, and CBS affiliates (fancy term for local stations that carry the network) are scattered across it like surfers waiting for the perfect wave. This means the channel number for CBS can vary wildly depending on where you are. In Los Angeles, for example, you'll find CBS chilling on channel 2, cool as a cucumber. But head north to San Francisco, and you might need to adjust your dial to channel 5.
