Tribune Entertainment: Difference between revisions

Tribune Entertainment was a television production and syndication company owned by the [[Tribune Broadcasting|Tribune Company]]. Many programs offered by Tribune Entertainment had been broadcast on the company's television stations. When Tribune started in 1975 with its first offering, the WGN Chicago-based ''U.S. Farm Report'', they did not yet have a logo. On 1980-82 episodes of ''Soul Train'', there was an in-credit text, and announcer Sid McCoy would be heard saying “This has been a Don Cornelius (Television) Production in association with Tribune Entertainment”. Then in 1984, Tribune got a logo separate from the end credits. In December 2007, Tribune Company closed Tribune Entertainment for good. Many of the shows it distributed have gone to other syndicators (for example: ''Soul Train'' and ''American Idol Rewind'' have switched to [[Trifecta Entertainment & Media]]. ''The Best of Soul Train'', however, was canceled in 2008. Others like ''Family Feud'' and syndicated reruns of ''South Park'' have switched to [[Debmar-Mercury]] with ad-sales by [[20th Television]]). However, Tribune Broadcasting is still alive as Tribune still focuses on its television stations. Currently, most of Tribune's past TV library is owned by [[Lionsgate]] in the United States.
