===Background===  

Disney's TV output from 1954 until 1981 (the anthology series, ''Zorro'', ''Mickey Mouse Club'') had no in-credit text for "Walt Disney Productions" at all, only a copyright stamp at the end of the closing credits; also, the company didn't have its own television arm until 1983 as "Walt Disney Pictures Television". The name Disney obviously required no indication, unlike other studios. Syndication of Disney's library was done by [[SFM Entertainment]]. The original ''Mickey Mouse Club'', ''The Mouse Factory'', and the 1970s revival of ''MMC'' were the only programs made available through syndication; in the days before the Disney Channel, the lesser movies and the short cartoons were seen only on the anthology series, while the animated films and first-tier live-action films were, of course, re-issued to theaters. When the anthology series moved to CBS however, this changed. In 2007, the Walt Disney Television Group (now the "Disney-ABC Television Group", later the Walt Disney Television division) in the U.S. was shut down and reincorporated to its [[Disney Television Animation|television animation division]] (currently part of Disney Channel since 2007). The live-action division of the company was already folded into [[Touchstone Television (1985-2007)|Touchstone Television]] (now [[ABC Studios]]) shortly after Disney reincorporated its TV output to its television animation division. Today, WDT is still active as in-name-only by producing programs internationally.
