'''HIT Entertainment''' was a British-American children's television company established in 1982 originally as the international distribution arm of [[The Jim Henson Company|Jim Henson Productions]] called "'''H'''enson '''I'''nternational '''T'''elevision" (later reincorporated as "'''Gainbase PLC'''" and "'''HIT Communications PLC'''"). However, following the death of Jim Henson in 1990, HIT was sold to several members of the company's management, led by Peter Orton, and reincorporated to Gainbase PLC, then to its current name to prevent any future confusion between the two companies. In February 2012, HIT was acquired by Mattel, and in 2016, was absorbed into [[Mattel Television|Mattel Creations]]. | '''HIT Entertainment''' was a British-American children's television company established in 1982 originally as the international distribution arm of [[The Jim Henson Company|Jim Henson Productions]] called "'''H'''enson '''I'''nternational '''T'''elevision" (later reincorporated as "'''Gainbase PLC'''" and "'''HIT Communications PLC'''").
