In December 1985, GE reacquired the RCA Corporation, primarily to gain ownership of the NBC television network for $6.28 billion; this merger surpassed the Capital Cities/ABC merger from earlier that year as the largest non-oil company merger in world business history.[1] The remainder of RCA's divisions and assets were sold to various companies, including Bertelsmann Music Group which acquired RCA Records. Thomson SA, which licensed the manufacture of RCA and GE branded electronics, traced its roots to Thomson-Houston, one of the original components of GE.[citation needed] Also in 1986, Kidder, Peabody & Co., a U.S.-based securities firm, was sold to GE and following heavy losses was sold to PaineWebber in 1994.[2]
