Colorband Communications

Colorband Communications is an American mass media company based out of Colorband Court in Los Angeles, California. Colorband Communications is primarily involved in the media and entertainment industry, specifically TV (Colorband Television) and film (Colorband Pictures).

History
In 1981, Norman Baxley founded KDKN-TV in Los Angeles and appointed Greg Turlow as station director. KDKN (known on screen as Colorband 42) was well known for it's rather eclectic mix of acquired programming, original programming, and whatever else they could scrape from the station basement; by 1985, the Colorband signal was being transmitted to stations across California. As KDKN and it's repeaters were so successful, the decision was made to turn them into a single Colorband network. This proved to be a success, and the Colorband Television Network went from strength to strength, only marginally hampered by a mistake made by the accountants in 1989 during the change from KDKN, Inc. to Colorband Communications causing the whole company to teeter on the brink of collapse in 1990. By 1991, the company had recovered enough that their motion picture studio Marconia Films (acquired almost completely by accident while attempting to get film rights) could be rebranded to match the rest of the company to become Colorband Pictures. Colorband continued to roll with the punches for the rest of the 90's and early 00's. Colorband finally launched a cable network in 2005 with CB2 being the first part of what Colorband currently calls "The CB family of channels". This family grew in 2007 with the launch of CB Movies and in 2011 with the launch of Colorband Sports. In 2018, Colorband Communications and The Daniels Companies, headed by famous producer Paul Daniels, agreed to merge.
