[BC] Bye, Bye NBC

[Larry Fuss]

Huh?  There hasn't been an NBC Radio Network for years.  True, Westwood One
markets some stuff under the "NBC Radio" brand, but it's not the same thing.

Um...

GE _started_ NBC.  Concantation:

GE and Westinghouse form RCA; RCA forms NBC

GE is, was, and continues to hold major chunks of NBC only because 
the operations weren't included when RCA was sold to Thompson.  And 
there's a Radio Network, not just a TV network, as well.
