It's interesting to note that Westinghouse Electric started the FIRST
commercial broadcast station in the worth (KDKA, Pittsburgh.)

When it purchased CBS it was only catching up on over 50 years of letting
the potential of broadcasting slip between it's fingers.

Since broadcasting was already Westinghouse's most profitable business (by far)
BEFORE they purchased CBS, I'm not sure what you mean about "letting the
potential of broadcasting slip between its fingers."
