It's confusing. Audiovox purchased from Thompson the RCA brand to manufacture and market RCA branded small consumer home electonics and RCA's accessory line of cables and connectors. Thompson then sold the RCA name brand to TTE-China and they took over production of RCA branded TV's. TTE last spring then sold the RCA brand name to ON Corp. who now manufacturers RCA branded flat panel TV's. The RCA name was also used under license by Phillips to produce communications receivers with the RCA name. Now the Technicolor Corp. is the legal owner of the RCA name and is where companies go to purchase the RCA brand name to stick on their toasters, buggywhips or what ever comes to mind. Technicolor is also a subsidiary of another corp. You guessed it, Thomson. Which has now changed their corporate name to Technicolor S.A. I think Nipper is in some dog pound somewhere.
