	Wikipedia: RKO
		In the 1930s RKO churned out movies at the rate of forty per year as RKO Radio Pictures, and signed a distribution deal with The Walt Disney Company in 1930 that would last into the 1940s.
		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.
		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.

		The most popular RKO star of this pre-Code era was Irene Dunne, who made her debut as the lead in the 1930 musical Leathernecking and was a headliner at the studio for the entire decade.

	CLASSIC STARDUST \| More stars than Heaven.
		By the 1930s, RKO was making forty pictures a year and was releasing them under the names "Radio Pictures" and "RKO Pathe." LeBaron was succeeded in 1931 by a Mr.
		These stars would...well, star, in one RKO movie each year, which explains why RKO films made in the mid-1940s and late 1940s featured stars such as James Stewart, Bing Crosby, Ingrid Bergman, Gary Cooper, Claudette Colbert and many others who were originally out of RKO's price range for their services.
		Most of the last RKO films carried the copyright "RKO Teleradio Pictures Inc.," shortened later to "RKO Teleradio Inc." By 1960, what was left of RKO went to the parent company: RKO General, which was the holding company for all of General Tire's broadcasting and investments.

	RKO
		Boss Radio was launched as a business tactic to increase the ratings of KHJ and specifically help RKO General make a better return on its investment in the Los Angeles radio market.
		After purchasing the former RKO Radio Pictures from Howard Hughes (minus the motion picture lot that went to Desilu), all of the stations that General Tire owned were merged into General Teleradio Incorporated.
		As the new head of RKO’s chain of radio stations, Bruce Johnson’s prime responsibility was to keep the chain from losing ground to the emerging power of FM stations to attract and maintain loyal audiences.

	Walt Disney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first animated feature in English and Technicolor, Snow White was released in February 1938 under a new distribution deal with RKO Radio Pictures.
		The film became the most successful motion picture of 1938 and earned over $8 million (today $98 million) in its original theatrical release, all the more amazing because children were only charged a dime to see it.
		These productions were all distributed by Disney's new subsidiary Buena Vista Distribution, which had assumed all distribution duties for Disney films from RKO by 1955.

		RKO General (which also owned broadcasting interests in Boston, New York, and Memphis) was active in Los Angeles television until 1989 when KHJ-TV was sold to the Walt Disney Company and became KCAL-TV.
		Today the network is owned by Disney and the multiple network idea still persists with Radio Disney (geared for children), Stardust (adult standards), ESPN Radio (sports), the ABC Radio Network (general news), etc. ABC is presently the only radio network with a direct link to a television network.
		Veteran radio producer, director, and actor Elliott Lewis commented that if he had more than two women in a play that the audience would be confused because all women sound the same.

	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.

	Satellite Delivered Syndication
		It also may be significant that in June 1980 National Public Radio became the first American radio network to use satellite distribution on a full-time basis.
		Kopper sold his network to John Blair and Company, and there was a switch from being a network to being a producer of programming for networks.
		He admitted to me that he was concerned satellite radio networks operating on a 24-hour basis would likely jeopardize localization and hurt people’s chances of getting into radio careers.

	RADIO'S LATEST BOOM: LATE-NIGHT TALK SHOWS - New York Times
		AM radio stations have discovered that there is a wide awake, not to mention highly responsive, audience for late-night call-in talk shows.
		Tomorrow, the ABC Radio Network will launch TalkRadio, a service available to AM stations nationwide via satellite, providing six hours of phoned-in conversation a night, beginning at 1 A.M., E.S.T. Locally, the shows will be carried on WABC.
		ABC is not the only network to venture into the late-night call-in program arena, which seems to concentrate heavily on discussions of personal finances and relationships.

	Rock Radio Scrapbook: Airchecks 1986-1990
		Radio was very male dominated in the early years of the medium, including the fledgling years of rock 'n' roll radio in the 1950s and '60s.
		After that, it was back to radio at easy-listening CKFM in 1982 as midday host (10 a.m.-3 p.m.) The rather subdued Nelson spinning MOR tunes at CKFM was a far cry from the zany morning guy who played Top 40 records at CHUM and, before that, WKBW.
		In the 70’s, no other radio station anywhere, did all the things that we did; the ratings victories, the promotions that snarled traffic and telephones, the influence on music tastes in both Canada and the U.S, the international awards, and the audio and later video documentaries.

		Lee is one of the most honored and respected broadcasters in the history of radio, having received awards and accolades from virtually every radio related publication and organization, and in 1997, he was inducted into the Radio Division of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
