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]]). Tribune Broadcasting and its television stations folded into Nexstar Media Group following the former company's acquisition by the latter in the year of 2019. Currently, most of Tribune's past TV library is owned by [[Lionsgate]] in the United States.
