Television advertising exposed the entire nation to new fashions and products. Television entertainment programming, almost all of it controlled by the three national networks (the National Broadcasting Company, the Columbia Broadcasting System, and the American Broadcasting Company) created a common image of American life an image that was predominantly white, middle-class, and suburban. Televised sports events gradually made professional sports one of the important sources of entertainment (and one of the biggest businesses) in America .
