blue_and_red p2 "NBC is the oldest of the 'Big three' American broadcasting networks. It was founded on September 13, 1926, by the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), the world's largest radio manufacturer, because they feared poor-quality radio broadcasting was hurting sales. Spurred on by RCA president David Sarnoff, NBC quickly became the most potent force in radio. The demand for programming was so high that within a year NBC split its radio operations into two divisions -- the Red and Blue networks. The two continued broadcasting side by side until 1943, when the U.S. government forced NBC to sell off the Blue network in an antitrust suit. When the U.S. government forced NBC to sell off its Blue network in 1943, Lifesaver candy manufacturer Edward J.

Originally a Blue Tory was one associated with the urban business elite, while a Red Tory was a rural populist from the country's hinterland.

DC Comics launched: SUPERMAN RED/SUPERMAN BLUE. The 64-page one-shot, while taking its title from one of the most beloved "imaginary" Superman stories of the 1960s, was every bit a part of modern continuity. Menaced by the unlikely, but nonetheless deadly, alliance between Toyman and the Cyborg, Superman's energy form was ripped apart, but the hero survived -- as two distinct beings: the devil-may-care Superman Red, and the more somber Superman Blue.
