Answer: MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTION COMPANY
After reversing the text on each line, each clue hints at a word that can be paired with "BACK" to form another word. The first of the given numbers indicates the length of this longer word (after "BACK" is inserted). The second numbers need to be indexed into the words, but indexing in the usual way does not work: most of these land in the "BACK" portion of the word, resulting in an overabundance of B, A, C, and K letters. Instead, you should index from the ends of the words:

These selected letters need to be reordered to extract the final answer. The clues were provided in (reverse) alphabetical order, but since they were originally reversed, we should instead sort the clues reading from the ends. And indeed, each of the 27 clues ends with a unique letter (including one ending with a symbol). Sorting in reverse alphabetical order in this way permutes the selected letters to spell "MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTION COMPANY".
