'''Lionheart Television International, Inc.''' was formed on May 1, 1981 as a joint venture primarily consisting of Western World Television and Public Media, Inc. Lionheart took over the US distribution rights to the BBC's television output after a previous deal with [[Time-Life Television]] expired, as well as that of the [[ABC National IDs (Australia)|Australian Broadcasting Corporation]]. The BBC eventually bought Lionheart outright by 1987, making it their North American distribution arm, which was renamed to "[[BBC America]]" in 1994. | '''Lionheart Television International, Inc.''' was formed on May 1, 1981 as a joint venture primarily consisting of Western World Television and Public Media, Inc.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a white drawing of a lion zooms in before stopping, taking up a good portion of the screen. The lion is drawn in an ugly "ornate" style with its tongue sticking out, a collar-like mane, and rather "fluffy" appearance. Its also holding a spectre in its front right (or left, depending on how you see it) paw, with 2 wing-like attachments at the top and emitting lightning bolts off of it. From the bottom of the spectre, the text "A '''BBC''' TV PRODUCTION" zooms in and settles below the lion, with "BBC" in a larger, "3D"-styled font. A few seconds later, it "flips" around to reveal "Distributed By" in a small print, as well as "'''LIONHEART''' TELEVISION INTERNATIONAL, INC." in a larger print. "LIONHEART" is also presented in a similar "ornate" style. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, a white drawing of a lion zooms in before stopping, taking up a good portion of the screen.
