What had been NBC Radio was only formally dissolved a few 
weeks ago, IIRC. NBC and Mutual had shared top-of-the-hour 
newscasts for quite a few years, just with different 
sounders at the top. 

The new NBC Radio (announced on All Access sometime last 
week if you want to wade through their past news) will 
also be distributed by Westwood One and NBC's really 
getting behind it...folks like Brokaw, Williams and Chris 
Matthews will supposedly be involved in one way or 
another.
