'''Gold Key Entertainment''' was a television distribution company founded in 1970 by Harold Goldman. In 1971, Gold Key merged with the Vidtronics Company, a subsidiary of the [[Technicolor]] Corporation. On January 10, 1980, Gold Key Entertainment established [[Gold Key Media]], a barter division to syndicate new series. In 1983, Technicolor was bought by financier Ronald Perelman's company, MacAndrews & Forbes, and Vidtronics was subsequently sold to Compact Video (which was later itself acquired by Perelman). On February 13, 1984, [[Four Star International]] acquired Gold Key Entertainment. After Compact shut down, its remaining holdings (which also included Four Star International) were folded into Perelman's Andrews Group, and eventually became part of [[New World Entertainment]] when Perelman acquired that company in 1989. | '''Gold Key Entertainment''' was a television distribution company founded in 1970 by Harold Goldman.

Some of its library, meanwhile, was sold off to other companies; for example, its Wald-Krasna pictures, including ''Clash by Night'', were reacquired by [[RKO Pictures]] in the late '80s and are currently part of the [[Warner Bros. Entertainment]] library. | ||
