RKO General
RKO General, Inc. was the main holding company through 1991 for the noncore businesses of the General Tire and Rubber Company and, after General Tire's reorganization in the 1980s, GenCorp. The business was based around the consolidation of its parent company's broadcasting interests, dating to 1943, and the RKO Pictures movie studio General Tire purchased in 1955. The holding company acquired the name of RKO General in 1959 after General Tire dissolved the film studio. 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.
RKO General still exists, at least nominally, registered as a Delaware corporation.〔Brilmayer, Lea, and Jack Goldsmith, ''Conflict of Laws'', 5th ed. (New York: Aspen, 2002), 464; (GENCORP INC GY Annual Report; Exhibit G: Listing of GenCorp Inc. Subsidiaries (1) ) form 10-K405, filed February 13, 1997; (GENCORP INC GY Annual Report; Exhibit 21.1: Owned Subsidiaries ) form 10-K, filed February 14, 2005. Retrieved 11/21/06. The many unsourced online claims that RKO General (a) was sold, (b) folded, and/or (c) had its name changed to RKO Pictures are all mistaken. In sum: its primary assets were sold; its broadcast operations folded; and its RKO Pictures subsidiary was spun off. But the company still exists as a GenCorp subsidiary.〕 In addition to broadcasting, its other former operations included soft-drink bottling and hotel enterprises. The original Frontier Airlines was a subsidiary from 1968 to 1985.〔( Frontier Airlines Timeline ) part of ''Old Frontier Airlines/FLamily'' web circle. Retrieved 9/24/06. See also Dial, Scott, "Tailspin of Frontier," ''Stapleton Innerline'', August 29, 1986 (this article and much other information on the relationship between General Tire/RKO General and Frontier available via (The Death of Frontier Airlines )).〕 In 1981, the company revived RKO Pictures on a small scale. It is as a broadcaster, however, that RKO General left its mark. Recognized as the owner of some of the most influential radio stations in the world and as a pioneer in subscription TV service, RKO General also became known for the longest licensing dispute in television history.
