WRGB, the CBS affiliate in Schenectady, NY, was owned by GE Broadcasting
until
1983. They sold the station (to stay under the ownership caps when they
bought NBC)
to an outfit called Unicom that was owned by Forstmann, Little and Co. Two
and a
half years later the station was purchased by Freedom Newspapers, the
current owner.
