Admiral Television?

I was recently listening to the CD "War Babies" by Hall & Oates. It features some absolutely screaming guitar solos, so I checked the liner notes. Guitars are credited to Hall, Oates, Richie Cerniglia, Todd Rundgren and "Admiral Television". A web search for Admiral Television turned up nothing. Anyone know who this is?

TIA.

John Oates is listed as a guitarist. I like the contract idea, but that would mean Derringer was on the same label with Winter as Hall and Oates was on War Babies and that's not the case.

I need to correct that statement. They were on different labels so it could be a contract issue.

Okay, so he texted Todd's wife. She said that it is actually a television. She told him that there's a lot of funky things they put on the War Babies album cover and they even quoted people that didn't exist. This answer is coming from Todd Rundgrens wife this morning.

My wife works with these two guys that worhship Todd Rundgren like you cannot believe. These guys take vacation time to follow him around. They've been doing this their entire lives together and have become very good friends with Todd and his wife (obviously).
