'''Telepictures''' (also known as "Telepictures Productions") was formed initially as "Telepictures Corporation" in 1978 by Michael Garin. The company syndicated the [[Rankin-Bass Animated Entertainment|Rankin-Bass]] library's holdings from post-1974 to 1988, as well numerous television programs. In 1983, the company formed Telepictures Productions as the production arm of the corporation. Telepictures merged with [[Lorimar Television|Lorimar Productions]], creating [[Lorimar-Telepictures|Lorimar-Telepictures Corporation]] (or just simply "Lorimar-Telepictures") on April 21, 1986. Under Telepictures' ownership, Rankin-Bass produced original animated series. In 1988, Lorimar-Telepictures split the television production divisions into their own separate names but keeping the Lorimar-Telepictures name as the distribution arm. In 1989, Warner Communications (later Time Warner, now WarnerMedia) purchased the company. Lorimar remained a separate production entity, which would be folded into Warner Bros. by 1993. Telepictures Productions later became a producer of syndicated programming that [[Warner Bros. Television|Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution]] would distribute starting in 1990 after a two-year hiatus. It is also involved in online areas, including operating the TMZ celebrity blog (until 2021), amongst others. | '''Telepictures''' (also known as "Telepictures Productions") was formed initially as "Telepictures Corporation" in 1978 by Michael Garin.
