Westinghouse made RCA's radios until 1930, part of some agreement IIRC. In 1923, Westinghouse scientist Vladimir K. Zworykin filed two patents critical in the development of television.

The TVs and radios from the "home products division" were just about as good as any other until the tv production was moved to Metuchen NJ, beginning of some very odd designs including the infamous "instant-on" feature.

I have one of the last Westinghouse-designed color sets from 1968. It is a very strange design, seemed as if it was not allowed to copy anything from even Emerson.
