It was the other way round. RCA had already begun distancing themselves from
EMI as far back as 1944, when David Sarnoff resigned from EMI's board. In
1946 Sir Ernest Fisk negotiated a licensing agreement with MGM Records, a
move that displeased both Columbia and RCA. Columbia ended its licensing
agreement with EMI in 1952. The final five year licensing agreement between
RCA and EMI was negotiated in that same year; a clause in the agreement
provided for the deletion of all RCA titles from the EMI catalog in 1958.
