At the time, GE was closely tied with the film industry. I believe it was officially GE he was working for when he was lobbying for and later testifying on the Taft-Hartley Act.

You’re right. GE owns NBC and NBC Univeral, and it’s subsidiaries, like PAX TV, Telemundo, Bravo, and the USA Network, and Sci Fi...just to name a few.

That would be hard to do since Reagan testified in 1947 in front of HUAC and didn't host GE Theater until 1954.
Reagan never lobbied Congress for GE. He was GE's spokesman and toured plants and promoted GE products.
