Back in the mid-80's, there were at least rumors (not sure if there was
any grain of truth to them or not) that Westinghouse was seriously considering
divesting itself of Group W and getting out of the broadcasting business
altogether.  Have to admit it seemed very plausible at the time... who
would've thunk that, 10-15 years later, the company would go in the complete
opposite direction?

Anybody else remember hearing the same rumor?  Anybody know how true it
might've been?
