rkolsen 1675 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 What was the logic behind San Francisco being the network hubs? If I recall CBS was there too and ABC was nonexistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 I hoped you would enjoy this RKO.. The paper describes it was a transitional time for NBC as the network was mostly already located in L.A. for the western stuff. The building was described as a white elephant even when it was brand new in 1942. The author really had some detailed stuff. In those days you had cool glowy things that buzzed and hummed.
