Storer Communications (formerly "Storer Programs Inc." and "Storer Broadcasting, Inc.") was a television production and distribution unit of Storer Communications, Inc. established in 1963 with the acquisition of its first cable television system. However, Storer merged with Gillett Broadcasting and Wometco Broadcasting to form "SCI Television". In 1985, Storer formed a joint venture with Blair Entertainment to produce first-run syndicated programming such as Divorce Court and Break the Bank. SCI is later merged with New World Entertainment in December 1993. Today, WJBK-TV in Detroit, WAGA-TV in Atlanta, and WITI-TV in Milwaukee are now owned by Fox Television Stations, WJW-TV in Cleveland is now owned by Nexstar Media Group, WSBK-TV in Boston is now owned by Paramount Global, KNSD-TV in San Diego is now owned by NBCUniversal, and WTVG-TV in Toledo is now owned by Gray Television.

Visuals: During the parting screen of the show, a screen flips in. On the screen is a lined dark blue-black gradient background which is spinning clockwise. The text "A PRESENTATION OF" zooms out along with the logo of the news station underneath. After a couple of seconds, the background quits spinning and the background "shines" from bottom to top wiping away the text. The Storer logo flashes in and glitters along with copyright information. The final product looks like this:
The first "R" in Storer extends down and through the underline.
