Coca-Cola Telecommunications was a short-lived television distribution arm of [[Columbia Pictures Television]], that was established on November 24, 1986 under The Coca-Cola Company, the former owner of [[Columbia Pictures]], that was responsible for first-run syndicated programming. It was also a merger between CPT's first-run division and "[[The Television Program Source]]". In January 1987, it formed a production division. On December 31, 1987, Coca-Cola Telecommunications closed its doors and it was folded into the reorganized Columbia Pictures Television Distribution (now "Sony Pictures Television") after Coke spun-off its entertainment business and sold it to [[TriStar_Pictures|Tri-Star Pictures, Inc.]] and was renamed as "Columbia Pictures Entertainment, Inc." (now "Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.") and merged the theatrical banners on December 21, 1987. As of today, [[Sony Pictures Television]] distributes ''Punky Brewster'' in the United States, while <span class="plainlinks">[[NBCUniversal Television|NBCUniversal Television Distribution]] own the show and handles global rights. SPE also owns ''The Real Ghostbusters'', ''Dinosaucers'', and ''Dennis the Menace: Dinosaur Hunter'', while ''Sylvanian Families'' and ''Starcom: The U.S. Space Force'' are now owned by [[WildBrain (Canada)|WildBrain]] through [[Cookie Jar Entertainment (Canada)|Cookie Jar Entertainment]]. | Coca-Cola Telecommunications was a short-lived television distribution arm of [[Columbia Pictures Television]], that was established on November 24, 1986 under The Coca-Cola Company, the former owner of [[Columbia Pictures]], that was responsible for first-run syndicated programming.
