Warner Communications Inc. was an American media conglomerate company, which was established in February 1972 when Kinney National Company spun off its non-entertainment assets due to a financial scandal over its parking operations (as National Kinney Corporation) and changed its name.
On February 10, 1972, Kinney Services, Inc. was incorporated and renamed as Warner Communications, Inc. Former Kinney assets including Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Music Group, DC Comics and Mad magazine were entered to this company. Warner made (and later lost) considerable profits with Atari, Inc., which it owned from 1976 to 1984.
In 1979, Warner formed a joint venture with credit card company American Express, Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment, which owned such cable channels as MTV, Nickelodeon]], and The Movie Channel. Warner bought out American Express's half in 1984, and sold the venture a year later to Viacom, which renamed it MTV Networks.
In 1982, Warner purchased Popular Library from CBS Publications.
In the mid to late 1980s Warner began to face financial difficulties. Taking advantage of Warner’s financial situation Time Inc. announced plans to merge with Warner Communications in March. Just under two months before the merger was publicly announced, Warner purchased Lorimar-Telepictures. In early 1990, the combined companies were named Time Warner.
