Colex Enterprises was formed on January 30, 1984 as a joint venture between '''Co'''lumbia Pictures Television (now "[[Sony Pictures Television]]") and '''Lex'''ington Broadcast Services Company, Inc. (later known as "LBS Communications, Inc.", now "FremantleMedia North America") to distribute classic Screen Gems/CPT shows and TV movies. All distribution went through LBS. When [[Coca-Cola Telecommunications]] was created on November 24, 1986, CCT represented Colex and took distribution of the Screen Gems programs distributed by Colex thus closing the company. CCT closed its doors on December 31, 1987 ten days after the establishment of Columbia Pictures Entertainment, Inc. (now "Sony Pictures Entertainment"), and most of the library was later transferred into the reorganized Columbia Pictures Television Distribution. Currently, the name is part of Sony Pictures Television. | Colex Enterprises was formed on January 30, 1984 as a joint venture between '''Co'''lumbia Pictures Television (now "[[Sony Pictures Television]]") and '''Lex'''ington Broadcast Services Company, Inc.
