CBS Media Ventures
CBS Media Ventures, Inc. (formerly CBS Paramount Domestic Television and CBS Television Distribution) is the television broadcast syndication arm of CBS Studios, a division of the CBS Entertainment Group, in turn a division of Paramount Skydance Corporation, founded on January 17, 2006 by CBS Corporation from a merger of CBS Paramount Domestic Television and KingWorld.
On launch, the division was led by King World CEO Roger King, who had his own production company merged into the division, until his death on December 8, 2007. It was formerly the main distribution arm of Paramount Media Networks (now handled by Paramount Global Content Distribution), while currently acting as the flagship distribution arm for CBS, and partnering with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution for The CW. The division also consists of CBS's home entertainment arm, CBS Home Entertainment.
The division has distribution rights to acquired television series, mini-series and films from the following libraries:
The remainder of Paramount Global's content library is distributed for U.S. television by Paramount Pictures (with some films licensed to Trifecta Entertainment & Media) and Paramount Media Networks.
As CBS Television Distribution, the division formerly distributed the films from the libraries from Republic Pictures and Carolco Pictures. Until 2021, it was responsible for international television distribution rights to a few episodic serial programs which aired on HBO by Rysher Entertainment through its Paramount Global Content Licensing division; it has since being handled by Paramount Global Distribution Group (both of these are currently known as Paramount Global Content Distribution). It also acted as an advertising sales representative for Debmar-Mercury, which is now owned by Lionsgate.
This is the sixth distribution name for CBS: CBS Television Film Sales (1952–58) was the first, CBS Films, Inc. (1958–68) was the second, CBS Enterprises (1968–70) was the third, Eyemark Entertainment (1995–99) was the fourth and CBS Paramount Domestic Television (2006–07) was the fifth. The first 3 CBS distribution monikers were also used for a separate media company-turned-conglomerate connected to CBS which evolved to what is now historically known as the first/original incarnation of Viacom Inc..
The current moniker for the overseas distribution arm CBS Media Ventures since 2009 is CBS Studios International, now Paramount Global Content Distribution.
On January 17, 2006, CBS Paramount Domestic Television became an interim syndication arm.
