CBS Productions: Difference between revisions

CBS Productions was the production arm of the CBS Television Network, formed in 1952 to produce shows in-house, instead of relying solely on outside productions. Its first production was ''CBS Television Workshop'', a drama anthology series that featured an early appearance of Audrey Hepburn. Before 1978, it was simply known as the "CBS Television Network". From 1978-1995, the name "CBS Entertainment Productions" co-existed. On January 17, 2006, it was merged with [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Television]] to form "[[CBS Studios|CBS Paramount Television]]", whose main production division, CBS Paramount Network Television, continued to produce the former CBS Productions shows that were still running. Currently, all of the CBS library except certain shows they merely held rights to, is owned by ViacomCBS themselves and is distributed by [[CBS Media Ventures]]. However, CBS has certain domestic or international rights on co-produced series. On September 2, 2008, CBS Productions was revived as an in-name-only unit of CBS Paramount Network Television (later known as "CBS Television Studios" and now "CBS Studios") by producing non-CBS network produced programs such as ''90210'' for The CW Television Network. It was revived again in 2015 for ''CSI: Cyber'', and it also produced the ''Thanksgiving Day Parade'' from 2016 to 2019.
