Note: As best my research could show, KSTP Minneapolis/St. Paul took programs
 from both NBC networks (going exclusively to what was the "Red" when NBC
 was forced to divest itself of one of it's two radio networks), and WLW
 in Cincinatti took programs from all four major national networks, taking
 the best from each and leaving the "scraps" to other stations in the
 market.

Please feel free to do more research and to make necessary additions and
 deletions. I think a definitive list of radio affiliations around the
 early 1940's (e.g. right after NARBA) of 50,000 watt stations will show
 why NBC Red (later just NBC) dominated radio in those days.
