The RCA Radio Story. RCA was founded in 1919. The Radio Corporation of America – later shortened to RCA – was formed with from a merger of American Marconi wireless and radio patents owned by General Electric, Westinghouse, and others. Prior to 1920, most Americans couldn’t even fathom the idea of voices and music coming into their homes over the air. But the availability of free over-the-air music and information fueled tremendous growth with sales of in-home radio sets growing from 5,000 units in 1920 to more than 2.5 million units in 1924. At first, the RCA brand was applied to radio receivers manufactured by Westinghouse and General Electric. RCA saw the potential for a nationwide network, and in 1926 the first national radio network – dubbed the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) – was created. Radio’s popularity in the U. Today, the RCA brand is still found on a variety of entertainment and information products marketed in countries throughout the world. From flat-panel televisions, telephones, audio/video gear, accessories, small appliances, and other products. And. After 90 years, they still make radios! A true American Success story. Dimension: 17″ in length X 10″ high X 8 in depth. I use plenty of Bubble Wrap, extra padding – and double box or use extra box support material. It will be marked “Fragile” &’This side up on the box to make sure it is handled carefully. The radio is fully insured. If there are any problems, please contact me and we can review options.
