I'm curious when that happened. I was with GE during the price fixing 
scandals and don't remember RCA being part of it. The Feds didn't 
bust anyone up for that. The only company I remember being "busted up 
by the feds" was RKO General. I believe they'd still be in operation 
if they hadn't been so arrogant with the Feds. I think it became a vendetta.

On a local level, the Feds did quite a job on Boston's WHDH-TV (Ch 5 
at the time). After about 11 years of litigation they gave the 
license to Boston Broadcasters as WCVB-TV. Read "The $100 million 
Dollar Lunch" for complete details.
