American International Pictures created its own television division as "American International Television" (also known as "American International Productions Television" or "AIP-TV") in 1964 to distribute all AIP film releases and produce various television shows. In 1979, AIP was acquired by Filmways, Inc. and American International Television was folded into Filmways Television in 1980. The AIP library, with some exceptions, is today owned by MGM Holdings Inc.
