S&P Global#S&P Global Market IntelligenceS&P

The predecessor companies of S&P Global have histories dating to 1888, when James H. McGraw purchased the American Journal of Railway Appliances. He continued to add further publications, eventually establishing The McGraw Publishing Company in 1899. John A. Hill had also produced several technical and trade publications and in 1902 formed his own business, The Hill Publishing Company. In 1909, both men, having known each other's interests, agreed upon an alliance and combined the book departments of their publishing companies into The McGraw–Hill Book Company. John Hill served as president, with James McGraw as vice-president. In 1917, the remaining parts of each business were merged into The McGraw–Hill Publishing Company.{{cite web | title=About Us: Corporate History: The Foundation | url=http://www.mcgraw-hill.com/aboutus/history.shtml | access-date=May 26, 2007 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070505102210/http://www.mcgraw-hill.com/aboutus/history.shtml | archive-date=May 5, 2007 }} McGraw Hill founded Business Week magazine in 1929.

In 2009, McGraw Hill Cos. sold Business Week to Bloomberg L.P. In 1964, after Hill died, both McGraw–Hill Publishing Company and McGraw–Hill Book Company merged into McGraw–Hill, Inc. McGraw–Hill purchased credit rating agency Standard & Poor's from Paul Talbot Babson in 1966. In 1979, McGraw–Hill acquired Byte magazine from its owner/publisher Virginia Williamson, who then became a vice-president of McGraw–Hill. In 1986, McGraw–Hill bought out competitor The Economy Company, then the United States' largest publisher of educational material. The buyout made McGraw–Hill the largest educational publisher in the United States.{{cite news|title=McGraw Hill Buying The Economy Company|last=Tipton|first=David|date=1986-07-03|work=The Journal Record}} In 1994, McGraw–Hill's broadcasting division signed a deal with ABC, due partly to the fact that its stations in San Diego (KGTV) and Indianapolis (WRTV) had already been aligned with the network, and that Denver (KMGH-TV) and Bakersfield (KERO-TV) joined the ABC family. (Bakersfield sister station KERO-TV was also involved in the deal between McGraw–Hill and ABC; however, that station had to wait for its affiliation contract with CBS to expire in March 1996, before it could finally switch to ABC).{{Cite web|title=McGraw-Hill Plans to Switch Affiliation of Denver Station to ABC from CBS|url=https://apnews.com/article/33b8e18f8b277a8aa645f02b765aa019|access-date=2021-04-28|website=AP NEWS}} In 1995, McGraw–Hill, Inc. became The McGraw–Hill Companies, Inc. as part of a corporate rebranding.{{cite web | title=About Us: Corporate History: The Information Age | url=http://www.mhfi.com/about/our-history | access-date=May 26, 2007 | archive-date=May 6, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130506164924/http://www.mhfi.com/about/our-history | url-status=dead }}{{failed verification|date=December 2011}}
