'''Time-Life Television''' was a division of [[Time-Life Films]] (owned by Time, Inc., later independent from Time Warner (now "WarnerMedia"), and after acquired by and folded into Meredith Corporation), active throughout the 1970s. It was most notable as the U.S. distributor of the [[BBC (UK)|BBC]]'s television output including ''Doctor Who'' and ''Monty Python's Flying Circus''. Time-Life's deal with the BBC expired on April 30, 1981 (these rights were taken over by the upstart [[Lionheart Television]]). That August, Time-Life Films' assets were acquired by [[Columbia Pictures]]; this included TV distribution rights to the library, as well as rights to films already in production. However, Time Inc. retained the copyrights to the library, and it is now handled by [[HBO Entertainment|HBO]] (with video rights usually going through [[HBO Home Entertainment]] in the U.S., with a few exceptions). A totally different company operating as Time-Life Television exists today as the production unit of Time-Life Video. | '''Time-Life Television''' was a division of [[Time-Life Films]] (owned by Time, Inc., later independent from Time Warner (now "WarnerMedia"), and after acquired by and folded into Meredith Corporation), active throughout the 1970s.
