RCA is now French??? (Radio Corp. of America)

Been owned by Thomsen, a French corporation, for over ten years.

For middle-class people who don't travel to Europe, boycotting RCA is one of the most effective things they can do. Tell WalMart to get those frog droppings off their shelves! RCA product quality is sheer crap anyway, has been for a long time. Buy some good quality Japanese stuff instead. They're loyal allies. But don't bother paying premium prices for Sony stuff because their quality has dropped to the same as the other Asian electronics. Sony is just continuing to get a price premium by milking their (formerly deserved) reputation for having superior electronics in the past.

Our faithful old RCA tv about 12 years old will die one of these days.

We will buy a Japanese brand probably to replace it.

First RCA moved the actual building of their tvs out of America to places like Mexico. Then somewhere along the line the company was bought out by the French.

Think that is bad! Wild Turkey is now owned by a French Company.

Yep RCA sure is owned by Thomson electronics in Paris.
For that matter Technicolor is also owned by Thomson.

The bigger problem is they have laid off most of the RCA staff in the US and sent our jobs to China and didn't (read that couldn't french law) lay off anyone in France.
