   Not "the same" at all, and what company is 60 years down the road.   
      
      
   AI Overview   
   1969 Press Photo CBS President Stanton at New York's Plaza ...   
   In 1969, CBS leadership was anchored by William S. Paley as Chairman and Dr.   
   Frank Stanton as President (serving 1946–1971). Robert D. Wood was appointed   
   president of the CBS television network in 1969, initiating a major shift   
   toward a younger    
   audience known as the "era of relevancy".    
   Key leadership and figures in 1969 included:   
   William S. Paley: Chairman of the Board.   
   Dr. Frank Stanton: President and Vice Chairman.   
   Robert D. Wood: President of the CBS Television Network (appointed 1969).   
   John A. Schneider: President of the CBS/Broadcast Group.   
   Richard S. Salant: President of CBS News (returned to this role in 1966).   
   Walter Cronkite: Managing Editor and Anchor of the CBS Evening News.    
   Wood's leadership in 1969 began a significant programming overhaul,   
   resulting in the cancellation of several long-running, older-skewing   
   shows like The Ed Sullivan Show, The Red Skelton Show, and The Jackie   
   Gleason Show to shift toward a younger demographic.
