PolyGram Television (1997-1999): Difference between revisions

PolyGram Records also had a television division in 1981 (first under the name of "PolyGram TeleVision Ltd."), which managed to survive until 1987 but it was resurrected in 1993. When [[PolyGram Filmed Entertainment (UK)|PolyGram Filmed Entertainment]] bought [[ITC Entertainment Group (UK)|ITC Entertainment Group]] in 1995, the new PolyGram Television logo was affixed to prints of ITC shows aired on British TV and elsewhere, but in America, PolyGram kept the ITC name and logo (operating as "ITC Distribution, Inc.") until 1997. Later that year, ITC Distribution was folded into the parent company to continue producing and distributing television shows in Britain and other countries, including the U.S., until 1999 when it was folded into [[Universal Television]] in 2000. However, the ITC library was later bought by [[Carlton Television (UK)|Carlton International Media]] in January 19, 1999 and is currently owned by ITV Global Entertainment, a subsidiary of [[ITV (UK)|ITV plc]]. The film ''Rehearsal for Murder'' is in the public domain, although [[Lionsgate]] has the official rights to the title, due to [[Hearst Entertainment]].
