Fun fact


The respective parent companies of Proctor and Gamble Productions and Taft Entertainment Television were both based in Cincinnati, Ohio. P&G still exists but no longer produces television series (or owns and food or drink products for that matter, their last such asset, Pringles, was sold to the Kellogg Company, ironically based in Michigan given the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry, in 2012). Taft Broadcasting was taken over by yet another Cincinnati-based company, Great American Insurance in 1987, becoming Great American Broadcasting, and over the ensuing years, sold off many of its assets, including Hanna-Barbera (some of its early shows were sponsored by Kellogg), Worldvision (including the non-H-B/Ruby-Spears programming assets), KECO Entertainment, and in the mid-1990s, the company reorganized as Citicasters, selling off of its remaining television stations to New World, Fox (who subsequently bought out New World), and to Jacor, the latter company soon acquired Citicasters outright, and then in 1999, merged with Clear Channel, by that point, the only former Taft TV station Clear Channel had owned was former TV flagship WKRC-TV in Cincinnati.
