Ziv Television Programs: Difference between revisions

Ziv Television Programs was a television production company founded by Frederick W. '''Ziv''' in 1948 and was a subsidiary of his successful radio syndication business. In 1960 the company was purchased by United Artists and merged with UA's own television company to become Ziv-United Artists Television (or "Ziv-United Artists"). During it's first two years after the merger, the company failed to sell pilots of television shows. In 1962, the name reverted back to [[United Artists Television]] after [[United Artists]] phased out Ziv Television. Today, most of Ziv's shows are owned by MGM Holdings Inc. The remainder has fallen into the public domain.
