I remember this becoming Avco Broadcasting which was a regional network in 
Ohio and Indiana. In Columbus where I lived the NBC TV affiliate was WLWC. 
Local programming produced by one of the TV stations was shared across the 
network. Each had their own daytime talk show. Cincinnati had Ruth Lyons 
50-50 club which was later taken over by Bob Braun. Indianapolis had Paul 
Dixon. Phil Donahue started his long running program with the Dayton 
station. In Columbus we had a guy named Spook Beckman and later Nick 
Clooney, father of George, had his own show in Columbus.

Avco sold off its broadcasting holdings in the 1970s. WLWC became WCMH, 
using the CMH code for the Columbus airport. I found this history about 
Avco/Crosley:
