SFM Entertainment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SFM Entertainment (formerly known as SFM Media Corporation and SFM Media Service 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 is known for the now-discontinued original version of the closing logo featuring a voice-over indicating that the program that was just shown was "distributed by the SFM entertainment division of SFM Media Coporation". All the while, one can hear "S-F-M" being rendered in Morse Code; three "dots" for "S", two "dots", one "dash", and one "dot" for "F", and two "dashes" for "M".
