WEAF became WNBC, the flagship of the now defunct NBC
radio network.
The network was sold of by General Electric ( -- who was stopped from
buying RCA in the '30's by anti-trust issues -- ) to Westwood One
which has now been partnering with Westinghouse (now the owner of CBS).
Wasn't RCA started as some sort of "holding" company, that
didn't
manufacture products of their own? They first sold items made by (you
guessed it) General Electric and Westinghouse. Later they acquired
Cunningham who were also making vacuum tubes/valves and included them in the
name "radiotrons" for them.
