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 (now called [[BBC America]]). | '''Lionheart Television International, Inc.''' was formed on May 1, 1981 as a joint venture primarily consisting of Western World Television and Public Media, Inc.
