The RKO Radio Networks, a subsidiary of RKO General, were the first commercial radio networks to distribute programming entirely by satellite. When it began operations on October 1, 1979, the initial RKO network was the first new full-service American radio network in 40 years. Satellite distribution allowed high-fidelity (15 kHz) stereo programming to its affiliates.

Famous quotes containing the words radio and/or network:

    from above, thin squeaks of radio static,
    The captured fume of space foams in our ears—

    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
