Background

On May 21, 1993, Ronald O. Perelman, owner of New World Communications, acquired 50% of Genesis Entertainment from Gary Gannaway's Gannaway Enterprises Incorporated, and the remaining stock in 1994, reincorporating it to New World/Genesis Distribution. On January 22, 1997, News Corporation acquired New World Communications and folded New World/Genesis into 20th Television. The Genesis name and "G" logo from 1990 now belong to Genesis International, a syndication company run by former Genesis Entertainment CEO Wayne Lepoff.
