They built it themselves. In the early 50s to compete in the color wars CBS Columbia bought out a TV maker IIRC Air King and changed that makers name to CBS. The FCC wouldn't hear color TV standards proposals from broadcasters, you had to be or own a TV set manufacturer to submit a proposal.
A few years after the color wars were lost by CBS they sold or divested their TV manufacturing division and the brand ceased to be.
