'''King Features Entertainment''' was originally formed in 1980 as '''Novacom, Inc.''' by Bruce Paisner and PBS station [[WGBH Productions|WGBH Boston]] to distribute television movies for syndication. The company itself was sold to The Hearst Corporation in 1981 and was renamed to '''King Features Entertainment'''. In 1983, it absorbed the assets of [[PolyGram Television (1980-1983)|PolyGram Television]] into this company. It later signed on a relationship with [[King Phoenix Entertainment|Phoenix Entertainment Group]], distributing telemovies internationally, and acquired it outright in 1989. In 1990, it was renamed to '''[[Hearst Entertainment]]'''. Hearst Communications sold its live-action [[Hearst Entertainment]] library to [[Lionsgate Films|Lionsgate]] in 2015, and integrated Hearst's animated content library into [[King Features Syndicate (2004-present)|King Features Syndicate]].
