	RKO studios
		RKO Studios was one of the most important film studios in the Golden Age of Hollywood.
		RKO flourished during the ‘Golden Age’ of Hollywood and yet for all its prestige, awards and skill it was not able to make the move, as many other studios did, into the ‘Modern Era’.
		RKO may well be the only film studio in history who can say that their fortunes were saved by a monkey.

		RKO's objections to such summary factfinding are well taken, because the admitted inaccuracy of the reports still left issues as to RKO's motive and intent that could only have been determined in what the FCC itself has called "the crucible of an evidentiary hearing." Walton Broadcasting, Inc., 78 F.C.C.2d 857, 877 (1980).
		RKO does not contend that it was prejudiced by the lack of notice, for it undoubtedly had actual notice of the candor issue, as the pleadings filed prior to the Commission's decision demonstrate.
		The disqualification of RKO as a licensee of WNAC in Boston is affirmed.

	RKO 281 (1999) (TV) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The most remarkable thing about RKO 281 (subtitled "The Battle Over Citizen Kane") is that not only is it sympathetic to William Randolph Hearst and his paramour Marian Davies, but it also paints a less then flattering picture of film icon Orson Welles.
		What RKO 281 highlights is that much of Hearst's ire against KANE was based to his desire to protect Davies from an unflattering portrayal and public scandal; not an unfounded fear, it would appear.
		RKO 281 is a slick and entertaining effort, but it does miss a golden opportunity.

		He ended his RKO association by selling the company to the General Tire and Rubber Company in 1955 for $25 million.The theater chain was separated during this period because of an antitrust case,eventually merging into the Century Circuit before the whole was taken over by Cineplex Odeon.
		RKO General's licensing saga began in 1962 when the license for KHJ-TV 9 Los Angeles was challenged.
		Some rights to a majority of the RKO film library were sold in the 1960s to United Artists, and later incorporated into MGM/UA, and in turn became part of the holdings of Turner Entertainment, where the rights stand today via Warner Bros., although RKO itself still holds some theatrical distribution rights.

		RKO General had large radio and television holdings including KHJ Los Angeles, KFRC San Francisco, WHBQ Memphis and WOR New York before a series of scandals involving illegal activities brought about forced divestiture of the stations starting with WNAC-TV Boston (now WHDH-TV) in 1982 and ending with KHJ-TV Los Angeles (now KCAL-TV) in 1989.
		The RKO General and General Tire executives who testified before the Federal Communications Commission rejected the accusations and the license was renewed without any direct documentary evidence of the offenses.
		RKO General was spun off by GenCorp in 1987, and renamed RKO Pictures in 1989 when it was acquired by Dina Merrill and Ted Hartley to once again make movies.

		However, its trademark logo, the beeping RKO radio tower, does play a prominant part in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, serving as the backdrop for the "floor show" scene as well as the main prop in the "dramatic" climax of the film.
		The events leading up the formation of RKO (Radio-Keith-Orpheum) are perhaps the most interesting part of the story, and took place in a time when the North American entertainment industry was going through a series of rapid and remarkable changes.
		Benjamin Franklin Keith, (the K in RKO), soon had developed a chain of vaudeville theaters throughout the eastern US, and began booking acts for this "circuit", with the talent travelling from one theater to another.

		The RKO Radio Networks were headquartered in the WOR Radio headquarters at 1440 Broadway in Manhattan, New York City, formerly also the headquarters of the Mutual Broadcasting System when RKO General owned Mutual.
		By the early 1980s RKO General was already deeply embroiled in a fight with the Federal Communications Commission over its fitness to be a licensee.

	Sombrero Grande's Movie Mesa
		On its own, RKO 281 is possibly--as Mil Peliculas might put it--an “extremely okay” film, but the fact that it bases its structure on none other than that of Citizen Kane, widely regarded and easily arguable as the best film ever made, does much more to hurt the film than help it.
		RKO 281’s right-out-of-the-gate disappointment is that, while the idea of starting out a dramatization of the making of Citizen Kane with the same kind of opening that Citizen Kane itself had is “cute,” it completely pulled me out of the experience.
		Oh sure, RKO 281's newsreel has all the same jump cuts and overexposures of its Citizen Kane counterpart, but while the physical characteristics were remade, the awe, the energy, the sheer filmmaking joy were not.

		RKO was thus compelled to turn to wild animals and zombies, both more or less in the public domain.
		RKO executives were terrified by the first rushes of Cat People with their measured pacing and matter-of-fact mildness.
		The RKO poster art may characterize Simone Simon’s character as the ultimate female predator, but she is really the film’s ultimate victim, the only one for whom we will finally grieve.

	Thumbnail History of RKO Radio Pictures
		For a period of time, the other studios under the RKO umbrella continued to use their names, with "RKO Pathe" and "RKO FBO" only losing their names later in the 1930s when it became clear that the "Radio Pictures" name was the more familiar brand to the public.
		Under FCC rules, those actions alone warrented RKO General being found to be unfit to be an FCC licensee, but RKO then fought the license revocations for another 10 years and committed a number of other legal offenses during the process.
		RKO General was spun off by GenCorp in 1987, and renamed RKO Pictures in 1989 when it was acquired by Dina Merrill and Ted Hartley.

		Note: RKO was originally founded by RCA to promote their RCA Photophone sound system. The initials in the company name stand for Radio Keith Orpheum, reflecting the joint venture of RCA, the Keith Orpheum theater circuit, and Joseph P. Kennedy?s Film Booking Office.

		Had it not been for a simple (and expensive) twist of fate, it is probable that "Kane" would never have seen the light of day.
		When RKO studio head George Schaefer (played by Roy Scheider) threatens to pull the plug on the film, Welles, in a fit of desperation, screams "It's all I've got!".
		"RKO 281" captures a time in show business that, even in its day, there was no business like it.

		RKO 281 builds Hearst up as a heavy in its first hour, and then kind of just forgets about that side of him in the second.
		The true highlight of "RKO 281" are the handful of terrific supporting performances, including the always intense John Malkovich as Mankiewicz, James Cromwell as Hearst and Roy Scheider as the long-suffering RKO producer.
		If "RKO 281" was going to be a great film (it's not), it needed to focus specifically on one protagonist of this complex drama - say Welles or even Mankiewicz, and told the story entirely from their point of view.

		When RKO Pictures began work on production number 281, no one could have imagined that they were making perhaps the greatest American film of all time.
		But the moment Orson Welles (played by Liev Schreiber) announced that he intended to make a film based on the life of tyranical multi-millionaire publisher William Randolph Hearst (James Cromwell), they knew that they had trouble on their hands.
		RKO 281 is based on the true story of the making of Citizen Kane and the war of words between Welles and Hearst.
