The Peter Rodgers Organization (PRO) is a television syndication company based in Hollywood, California. It distributes more than 2,000 films, and dozens of documentaries and off-network television series to global markets. PRO claims to hold the largest library of films of any studio distributor.
The company was founded in 1976 by Peter S. Rodgers, a Viennese escapee of Nazi persecution, who arrived in the United States in 1938. Following a distinguished tour of service in the United States Army as a military intelligence officer during World War II, Rodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1954 to work for National Telefilm Associates (NTA), where he would serve as Vice President of Domestic Distribution and Sales, reporting to President and Chairman of the Board Ely Landau.
In 1976, he left NTA to form the Peter Rodgers Organization. Over the last four decades, the company has represented and managed the rights to classic television shows such as Highway Patrol, Sea Hunt, Lock-Up, Ripcord, The Bill Cosby Show, The Rifleman, Candid Camera, Flipper, I Spy,The Saint, Peter Gunn, Mr. Lucky, My Favorite Martian, The Invisible Man, and the 1990 series Zorro.
