Orange Network

Orange Network was a radio network and eventually a TV broadcasting company that was founded as a spin-off to the NBC Orange Network. It merged with Silver Network, which was the successor to CBS Silver, a secondary network of CBS, to form CLP Network, which is currently owned by ATBW Holdings LLC under the ATBW Label Networks division.

Like the larger Silver Network that it merged with later on, Orange Network was a broadcasting network that was smaller than NBC and CBS and eventually ABC (itself a successor from NBC Blue Network) at the time. However, Orange Network broadcasted almost only on the west coast while Silver Network broadcasted from coast to coast, though Orange Network did have stations in states that Silver Network did not cover anywhere at all at the time, including Oregon and Washington State.

After 30 years, Orange Network and Silver Network would both voluntarily merge with each other to form California Broadcasting Company in 1966, but this was later changed to CLP Network in 1972 to avoid confusion with the abbreviation of Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. On March 7, 1996, 80% of the company was eventually bought out by Langile Corporation and it was immediately made a subsidiary of Langile Corporation's ATBW Label Networks, and the company bought the remaining 20% of it on February 20, 1997. Even before the merge and formation of CLP Network, Orange Network and Silver Network had close relationships with each other and they both jointly owned and operated the California National Radio Station together (1945 - 1953).
