By 1939, NBC's Red and Blue Networks, and the Columbia and Mutual Broadcasting Systems, offered nationwide coverage.
[10]
NBC advertising rate cards of the period listed "basic" and
"supplemental" affiliated stations. Advertisers were encouraged to buy
time for their programs on the full "basic" line-up (plus any
"supplemental" stations they wished) but this was open to negotiation.
It was not unusual for Red Network advertisers to place shows on Blue
Network stations in certain markets (and the other way around).
Supplemental stations were generally located in smaller cities away from
the network trunk lines. Such stations were usually offered to
advertisers as "supplemental stations" on both the Red and Blue Network
line-ups.
