 The holding company acquired the name of RKO General in 1959 after General Tire dissolved the film studio.
 The original RKO Radio Pictures, Inc. corporation name was then changed to the present day RKO General, Inc.
 Current RKO Radio Pictures copyrights are held by this corporate name.
 Headquartered in New York City, the company operated six television stations and more than a dozen major radio stations around North America between 1959 and 1991.
