Maybe. Or maybe NBC would have found itself in need to change format and call letters sometime in the last 22 years.
I was always under the impression that the NBC Red network was the one with the more popular programs, stars and "A List" stations. NBC Blue had more sustaining and public service programs. If you look at the classic shows of the NBC Radio network you are talking about NBC Red.
That's not to say that ABC didn't do well when they came along. Bing Crosby was still very popular when he had a show on ABC. He went to that network because they let him record his shows instead of insisting they be done live.
ABC came up with the 4 network concept in the latter part of the '60's with ABC Contemporary, Information, FM and Entertainment. The got around the one network rule because only one network aired at a time (unlike NBC Red/Blue).
I liked NBC's NIS (News and Information Service) which they tried in the '70's. A good concept that just didn't catch on. Unfortunately NIS killed NBC's weekend program "Monitor".

Wow! I LOVE the nbc network (news, Shalit, Brothers, People Poll,, etc.) and while a brand new owner of a station, flirted w/NIS affiliation, but became BORED to tears by their "wooden" presentation. It was, in my view, "robotic. " NBC radio, as a news network was first class.
