Back  when I got started in the biz, RCA had the biggest booth at NAB. Now
it's  just a consumer brand name being sold by one company to another. It's
now  being sold by Thomsen to  Audiovox.

formed in 1919 as Radio Corp. of America, was an early pioneer in  television 
technology and a leading brand in the U.S. for decades. 

RCA WAS FORMED IN 1919 AS  RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA...
 
GE, Westinghouse and Western Electric were around before 1919.  The  may not
