'''Columbia TriStar Television''' was a merger of [[Columbia Pictures Television|'''Columbia''' Pictures Television]] and [[TriStar Television (1991-1999)|'''TriStar''' Television]] (after branding [[Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment|Columbia TriStar Home Video]]). It was founded on February 21, 1994 and the same day, SPE renamed Columbia Pictures Television Distribution to "'''Columbia TriStar Television Distribution'''". With [[Columbia TriStar International Television]] (formerly "Columbia Pictures International Television") (now [[Sony Pictures Television International]]) already in operation since the early 1990s, all three became part of the "'''Columbia TriStar Television Group'''". On June 4, 1994, CTT folded [[Merv Griffin Enterprises]] and took over the rights to ''Jeopardy!'' and ''Wheel of Fortune'', and used a logo since the inception by September. However, CPT and TriStar continued producing their own series until TriStar Television became in-name-only in 1999 and CPT folded in 2001. Columbia TriStar Television was officially incorporated on July 12, 1996. On October 25, 2001, CTT and CTTD were merged into "'''Columbia TriStar Domestic Television'''" with CTIT remaining. On September 16, 2002, CTT was reincorporated as "[[Sony Pictures Television]]".
