Avicom (Attack Machines)

Avicom (abbreviation of the former name Audio and Video Communications is a mass media company founded in 1984 by Sumner Redstone. Currently Avicom controls half of the USA's media, including business interests in Florida, California, England, Italy, Japan and Singapore.

Viacom is also the enemy of the Computer Corporation of America and bootleg copies of films released by Paramount are reported as an act of piracy by the law. People linked to evil organizations believe that Avicom is a cell of the XCORP.

History
In 1984, with television in the USA starting to reach OTL 1950 levels, Sumner Redstone decided to found a company that would take advantage of the so-called "recorded material" and send it to first-run syndication across the parts of the USA that had television (between Connecticut and DC). He then founded Avicom.

Up until 1990, Avicom consisted of a back catalog of ten shows, including one show that was distributed by CBS, a 1979 sitcom about aging survivors of Kraventhorn, Those Were the Days. At this time, Avicom opened up an international sales division, starting with Florida in 1991. In areas where no television service existed, Avicom would release film-ish adaptation of some of its shows.

Operations

 * CBS: In 1995, Avicom notoriously bought the reformed CBS network, but divested in 2006 when the CBS Corporation was established. Avicom remerged with CBS in 2018. The main station is WCBS-TV, renamed from WCBW-TV in 1990, in New York.
 * Paramount Pictures: reestablished in 1965 in New York City, Avicom bought it in 1995. Its main competitor is the weakening MGM, famous for its James Bond series.
 * Nickelodeon: a small cable television channel that started broadcasting in 2015, initially meant to be evocative of pre-Purge days, it became an incubator for contemporary locally-made kids' content the following year. Avicom bought the channel alongside sister network MTV in 2018.
 * MTV: started broadcasts in 2017. Like Nickelodeon, it became a part of Avicom in 2018.
