Orion Television: Difference between revisions

After [[Orion Pictures|the Orion Pictures Company]] acquired [[Filmways Television|Filmways]] in 1982, Filmways Television was renamed as '''Orion Television''' (also known as '''Orion Pictures Television'''), after allowing their catalog to have been distributed by [[Viacom Productions|Viacom Enterprises]] (now "[[CBS Media Ventures]]"), and took over Filmways Television content in the same year and began to produce and syndicate various TV shows and movies. As a result of Orion's financial troubles, its television division was closed in spring 1990, although Orion continued to retain ownership of all its television output up to the time of the bankruptcy, except when Orion sold its ''Hollywood Squares'' format to [[King World Productions|King World]] in 1991. After a twenty-two year absence, the television studio was revived by MGM in 2013. All of Orion's television library is now owned by MGM.
