Kinney Services Inc. (originally Kinney National Service, Inc.) was an American media conglomerate and holding company located in New York City. It was formed through the merger of Kinney Service Corporation (founded December 1961) and National Cleaning Contractors, Inc (established 1886). Kinney Services oversaw numerous service companies including funeral homes, parking facilities, and maintenance firms. By the late 1960s, Kinney National pivoted to entertainment after several media acquisitions, most notably Warner Bros.-Seven Arts. In 1971, Kinney National separated its non-media divisions to National Kinney Corporation (a separate company) and reincorporated as Warner Communications.
