Ronco and K-Tel, whatever happened to them?

[Moley]

Those of us of a certain age will remember the yuletide TV adverts of the 1970's in the UK where the Ronco company came up with gadgets that they thought we couldn't live without (the Buttoneer anyone?) and K-Tel released the christmas complation Long Playing Records that we all wanted for christmas.

I wonder what happened to those companies?

[jamaicabraden]
