		In 1925 the management of ATandT decided that WEAF and its network was not compatible with ATandT's goal of providing phone service, and offered to sell the station to RCA, whose business was set manufacturing.
		For $1 million, RCA acquired radio station WEAF and a Washington sister-station, WCAP, which it shut down.
		This transaction accompanied the announcement, in the late summer of 1926, of a new wholly-owned division of RCA called The National Broadcasting Company.

		The National Broadcasting Company was created when RCA purchased radio stations WEAF New York, WCAP Washington, DC and the radio programming network from American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) in 1926 and merged those assets with its own WJZ New York, WRC Washington and radio programming network.
		The WEAF stations and network would become known as the NBC Red network, the WJZ stations and network would be dubbed the NBC Blue network (later to become ABC, the American Broadcasting Company).
		In 1926 RCA bought WEAF, closed WCAP, created the wholly-owned division called the National Broadcasting Company and operated the New York stations and the two network efforts side by side for about a year.

		WEAF's first efforts in what would become known first as "chain broadcasting" and later as "networking" tied together Outlet Company's WJAR in Providence, Rhode Island with ATandT's WCAP in Washington, D.C. (named for the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company division of ATandT).
		For $1 million, RCA got WEAF and a Washington sister-station, WCAP.
		WEAF and Westinghouse's WJZ and the two networks were operated side-by-side for about a year, but in 1927 NBC formally split the two networks: the NBC Red Network offered entertainment and music programming; the NBC Blue Network carried many of the "sustaining" or non-sponsored programs, especially news and cultural in nature.
