Big Business:
RCA, GE and Westinghouse joined forces to create the National Broadcasting Company. NBC, founded by David Sarnoff (upper left, seated at left), began broadcasting in November 1926.
William S. Paley (lower right, standing) founded the Columbia Broadcasting System, known as CBS. The network went on the air in 1928.
For both networks, the kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh's infant son in 1932 became a major radio news story. |
