Lexington Broadcast Services Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lexington Broadcast Services Company was a television production and syndication company founded in 1976 by advertising pioneer Henry Siegel. Advertising Age magazine wrote of Siegel as "the man who built Lexington Broadcast Services into the nation's largest barter sydnicator, and thus defined that segment of the TV ad business."[1] It was renamed LBS Communications, Inc. in 1984.
The company was known for distributing programs from DiC Entertainment, Screen Gems and Columbia Pictures Television, by way of its Colex Enterprises joint venture with Columbia, in addition to the 1991 syndicated re-launch of Baywatch.
However, in 1992 or 1993, Lexington Broadcast Services Communications went bankrupt, with almost all of its assets sold to Syd Vinnedge's All American Television (later known as Pearson Television, now FremantleMedia North America). In 2001, Lexington Broadcast Services Communications closed down.
