'''Bing Crosby Productions''' (BCP) was founded in the late 1940s by actor '''Bing Crosby''' to produce films and his early TV series ''The Fireside Theater''. Later, BCP produced the medical dramas ''Ben Casey'' and ''Breaking Point'', as well as the World War II sitcom ''Hogan's Heroes''. BCP was sold to Cox Broadcasting in 1968; BCP turned its attention to films after this, and Crosby had no further involvement in the company after 1971, leading to his name being dropped from the company. BCP was shut down by Cox in 1979, following the poor performance of ''The Great Santini''; its library was merged with the [[Operation Prime Time]]/[[Television Program Enterprises]] library, and is now split between [[CBS Media Ventures]] (for TV series) and [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] (for films), with a few exceptions. | '''Bing Crosby Productions''' (BCP) was founded in the late 1940s by actor '''Bing Crosby''' to produce films and his early TV series ''The Fireside Theater''.
