WI: Hughes Hands Off: RKO Pictures - A Success Story

I would love feedback on the history of RKO Pictures as a successful movie studio still in business today and Wikipedia info boxes on the various films they produced over the decades starting after Howard Hughes buys them. (My POD for this being that Howard Hughes leaves the studio to do its own stuff without him micromanaging everything, as hard as that may be.)
 
I think there could be a way to stop Hughes from buying the studio in the first place, like maybe another person outbids him to buy the studio, or if it becomes the first to be taken over by a corporation.

I was originally thinking that Hughes had no OCD or baring that it wasn't all that strong (so he wouldn't micromanage everything).
 
Or, you could use this as a springboard for an ASB thread to create another fictional individual that could reign him in.

The best way for this historically is for J. Arthur Rank to out bid Hughes with one last bid.
