NBC Orange Network

NBC Orange Network (also known as NBC Pacific Coast Network) was an NBC radio network in the western United States from 1927 to 1936 before two-way broadcast-quality communications circuits reached the west to relay the larger red and blue networks, the latter of which became Blue Network in 1943 and ABC in 1945. It was nonetheless spun off to Orange Network (which later merged with Silver Network to form CLP Network).

The need for the orange network disappeared in 1936 when a second broadcast-quality circuit was completed, and the stations on the orange network merged with the larger red and blue networks, while some select radio stations were moved to the new Orange Network, which was an entirely separate network. The succeeding Orange Network then established new radio stations and eventually TV stations on its own.
