RKO Radio Network
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The RKO Radio Network, a subsidiary of RKO General, was the first radio network to begin its operations entirely on satellite in the 1970s.
It fed newscasts at :50 and :00, and offered sportscasts, music, and public affairs programming. RKO was very popular from the start, signing up hundreds of affiliates coast to coast. The network was sold after an advertising billing scandal involving RKO's television stations came to light. It was later acquired by the United Stations Radio Network, which was later absorbed by Westwood One.
