From its inception until the joint venture agreement ended in 2002, [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] owned a 50% stake in the TV studio. It eventually went with [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Domestic Television]] to distribute its shows. Paramount would acquire DreamWorks in 2006, so [[CBS Paramount Television|CBS Paramount Domestic Television]]/[[CBS Television Distribution]] (a part of CBS Corporation, which split from [[Viacom Productions|Viacom]] before the acquisition was completed) took over the complete rights to the DreamWorks Television library. DreamWorks broke apart from Viacom when its employees left to form the current version of DreamWorks. Currently, most of the pre-2008 DreamWorks Television library is owned by [[Paramount Pictures]], syndicated under Paramount Worldwide Television Licensing & Distribution or licensed to [[Trifecta Entertainment & Media]]. The current DreamWorks had its TV arm merged into [[Amblin Television]] sometime in 2013. |
