What TV channel originally aired Gunsmoke?

CBS aired Gunsmoke first as a radio show and then as the legendary TV series during its entire run. At the beginning of the show's history, it aired unsponsored, with CBS footing the entire bill for its production. After the show's popularity grew, however, CBS started making more than enough profit to keep Gunsmoke on the air for two decades.
