'''Columbia TriStar Television''' was a merger of [[Columbia Pictures Television|'''Columbia''' Pictures Television]] and [[TriStar Television (1991-1999)|'''TriStar''' Television]] (after the re-branding of [[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 Sony Television Entertainment umbrella (which was later renamed to the '''Columbia TriStar Television Group''' in July 1995). On June 4, 1994, CTT folded [[Merv Griffin Enterprises]] and took over the rights to ''Jeopardy!'' and ''Wheel of Fortune'', as part of an overall deal with Merv Griffin himself. 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. | '''Columbia TriStar Television''' was a merger of [[Columbia Pictures Television|'''Columbia''' Pictures Television]] and [[TriStar Television (1991-1999)|'''TriStar''' Television]] (after the re-branding of [[Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment|Columbia TriStar Home Video]]).

On New Year's Day 2001, CTT folded CPT in a failed attempt to become a network television syndication division called '''Columbia TriStar Network Television'''. However, the formation of CTNT was blocked due to FCC-related television and syndication laws (also known as the "Fin-Syn" laws) prohibiting network participation in the financial interest of the television programs they aired beyond first-run exhibition and the creation of in-house syndication arms, especially in the domestic market. Another reason why CTNT's formation failed was due to its Japanese ownership (Sony) | On New Year's Day 2001, CTT folded CPT in a failed attempt to become a network television syndication division called '''Columbia TriStar Network Television'''.
