SFM Entertainment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SFM Entertainment (formerly known as SFM Media Corporation) is an American television syndicator, established in 1968. The name comes from the initials of the company's founders: Walter Staab, Robert Frank, and Stanley Moger.

The company's trademark was it's closing logo in which the letters would fill with rainbow-colored light (co-incidentally, they distributed DiC's Rainbow Brite series), accompanied by a "Morse Code"-like sound and a voice saying that the show was "Distributed by the SFM entertainment division of SFM Media Coporation".
