Avco Broadcasting Corporation was the broadcasting division of the Aviation Corporation, which was formerly known as the Crosley Broadcasting Corporation until 1945 (Crosley was an early operator of radio stations and a radio manufacturer) From 1945 up until 1968, the broadcasting division continued to operate under the Crosley name, even though the manufacturing division was already renamed as "AVCO" on March 1, 1976, the company was sold to Multimedia, Inc., renaming this unit to "Multimedia Program Productions". This division is often confused with Avco Embassy Television, which was formed to syndicate films from the Embassy library to television stations. Both companies were unaffiliated and were owned by Avco On March 1, 1976, Avco sold their broadcasting division to media company Multimedia, Inc., who renamed it to "Multimedia Entertainment" (initially as "Multimedia Program Productions, Inc.") From 1976-1984, the TV shows would use in-credit text to Multimedia Entertainment.
