When Bridgeport Die and Machine went bankrupt in 1925, the Broadway label was acquired by the New York Recording Laboratories (NYRL), which, despite what the name suggests, was located in Port Washington, Wisconsin.

NYRL was owned by the Wisconsin Chair Company, also the parent of Paramount Records.

NYRL went out of business in 1932 and the Broadway label was picked up by ARC for a short-lived series.

When Decca started up in late 1934/early 1935, among the early (unsuccessful) labels they produced was Champion and Broadway.

The Bridgeport-era Broadway discs were well-pressed and recorded, but starting with the NYRL (Paramount) era, the pressing quality and audio fidelity was well below average for the time.
