Way back at the very beginning, yes. It was Westinghouse that put JZ on the 
air in 1921 from their plant in Newark, and it was several years before 
Westinghouse, AT&T and GE joined forces to create RCA, at which point 
several of their licenses (including Westinghouse's WJZ and AT&T's WEAF) 
were pooled under RCA, which then spun off as an independent entity.
