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 "Avco". On March 1, 1976, the company was sold to Multimedia, Inc., renaming this unit to "[[Multimedia Entertainment|Multimedia Program Productions]]". This division is often confused with [[Avco Embassy Television]], which was formed to syndicate films from the [[Embassy Films Associates|Embassy]] library to television stations. Both companies were unaffiliated and were owned by Avco. | '''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).
