The Paley Center for Media was the idea of William S. Paley, former head of CBS TV network. It opened in 1975 as the Museum of Broadcasting, at East 53rd Street. It was so popular that it had to relocate into its present home, a high-tech $50 million building that looks like an antique radio, in 1991, and was given its present name.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
