Warner Bros. Television
Encyclopedia : W : WA : WAR : Warner Bros. Television
Warner Bros. Television is the television production and distribution arm of Time Warner's Warner Bros. Entertainment. The division was started in 1955. In 1988, it acquired Lorimar-Telepictures. Telepictures was later absorbed into WBTV's distribution unit, and in 1990, came back as a TV syndication production company. In 1993, Lorimar Television was absorbed into WBTV.
In 2006, WBTV made its vast library of shows available for free viewing on the Internet (through sister company AOL's IN2TV service), with Welcome Back Kotter as its marquee offering. Some of these shows have not been seen publicly since their last syndicated release in the 1980s.
