WCBS-TV & WNBC-TV celebrating 80 years!!!
- Thread starter radiodjerikstonehvny
- Start date
Yes and also didn't WCBS and WNBC started out their TV station under different call letters such as WCBW-TV New York made by CBS and WNBT/WRCA-TV under NBC when they signed on. But they had the same owners the entire time though.
WX2BS was the call sign for the experimental station that became WNBT.
W2XBS was NBC, W2XAB was CBS, and later, W2XWV was Dumont.
