CBS Paramount Television: Difference between revisions

On August 10, 2004, [[Viacom Productions|Viacom]], Inc. formed "[[CBS Paramount International Television]]" as a merger of two successful international television companies: [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount International Television]] and [[CBS Broadcast International]]. That same date, Viacom formed the CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group as a result of two television production companies: [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Network Television]] and [[CBS Productions]]. Their respective names and logos, however, were kept. After the CBS and [[Viacom (2006-2019)|Viacom]] split was made official on December 31, 2005, beginning on January 17, 2006, the CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group and Paramount Domestic Television became part of the new semi-independent CBS Corporation. Because of this new ownership, it was decided that CBS would add their name to the studio's television unit, thus creating '''CBS Paramount Television''', consisting of CBS Paramount Network Television, CBS Paramount Domestic Television, and CBS Paramount International Television (spun-off as "[[CBS Studios International]]" (now [[Paramount Global Content Distribution]]) in 2009). The transition was quick but gradually done, with copyrights to "CBS Studios Inc." appearing on shows such as ''Entertainment Tonight'' as early as February. Although, the post-2006 episodes of shows like ''CSI'' still kept the copyright to '[[CBS Broadcasting|CBS Broadcasting, Inc.]]' The logos would make their debut by early summer '06, with CBS Paramount Television's "Eye in the Sky" syndication logo debuting on May 29th, 2006 - Memorial Day on that day's run of syndicated daytime programming from the company, retiring this one in September 2007 when the [[CBS Television Distribution]] logo debuted, since its formation on September 26, 2006 by [[King World Productions|King World]], CBS Paramount Domestic Television, CBS Paramount International Television, and [[CBS Home Entertainment]]. The network television logo, "Wallpaper," wouldn't appear on TV screens until June 11, 2006 on season 3 of ''The 4400'' on USA. The label went defunct on May 15, 2009, when the main CBS Paramount Television group and its network television unit were reincorporated as "[[CBS Studios|CBS Television Studios]]" by dropping the Paramount name and logo. The Viacom relaunched a new version of [[Paramount Television Studios|Paramount Television]] four years later.
