		The Columbia trademark from this point until the late 1950s was two overlapping circles with the "Magic Notes" in the left circle and a CBS microphone in the right circle.

	Truman Library - Eben A. Ayers Oral History Interview, June 12, 1967
		It seems that the National Broadcasting Company was already committed through arrangements made by Byrnes' office or Assistant Secretary of State William Benton to an exclusive broadcast by the National Broadcasting Company.
		Ross' message to me, pointing out that the National Broadcasting Company was already committed, said that the President desired to have the Columbia Broadcasting Company also available at that evening hour, and Ross in his message said to tell the Columbia Broadcasting Company that this was a request of the President.
		When I got that, I had an idea there might be some complications resulting, inasmuch as the National Broadcasting Company was scheduling the speech and I had a hunch that NBC thought they would have an exclusive broadcast coming up.

		RCA's dominance of the broadcast industry led to government scrutiny in the late 1930s when the FCC began to investigate the legitimacy of networks, or "chain broadcasting" as it was then called.
		The result was the 1941 publication of the FCC's Report on Chain Broadcasting which criticized the network's control of a majority of high-powered stations and called for the divorcement of NBC's two networks.

	Metropolitan Opera International Radio Broadcast Information Center - About the Center
		Financing the Met broadcasts during the early 1930’s proved to be problematic, moving between NBC, the American Tobacco Company, the Lambert Pharmaceutical Company, and RCA (NBC’s parent company).

		This series of Metropolitan Opera telecasts was broadcast simultaneously by a television station and an FM stereo radio station in the same geographic area.

	1939 - 1941: We Interrupt This Program
		Similarly, the nation's broadcasters evolved from what were essentially domestic news gatherers into true global journalists.
		This broadcast from November 20, 1941, is a prime example: The show offers news of the U.S. Pacific fleet, dramatic reports of the Russian front, and a report on Japanese ambassador Kurusu's visit to Washington, which mixes farce with fact.
		As 1941 drew to a close, the nation faced as much uncertainty as when world hostilities first arose five years earlier: Americans were dying in an undeclared naval war, our allies were under siege around the world, and the nation's interests were threatened on both coasts.

	RADIO CHAIN HEADS CALLED (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Presidents of the nation's three major broadcasting chains were invited by Chairman Frank R. McNinch, of the federal communications commission, to a conference here late next week to discuss the use of the newspaper term "flash" on radio programs.
		McNinch issued the invitations to the presidents of the National Broadcasting company, the Columbia Broadcasting company and the Mutual Broadcasting system, he said, to discuss "especially the frequent and, at times, misleading use of the newspaper term `flash.'"
		This step was taken by the FCC chairman in connection with last Sunday night's broadcast, "The War of the Worlds." The word "flash" was used in the broadcast to dramatize the H. Wells' imaginative story of an attack on this planet by "monsters from Mars." Many protests were received by the commission against the broadcast.
