===Background===
'''Lionsgate Television''' (formerly known as '''Lions Gate Television, Inc.''') is the television division of [[Lionsgate Films|Lionsgate Studios]], established in 1997 with the film studio, which later became an incorporated entity on March 12, 1999. It is currently run by chairman Kevin Beggs and president Sandra Stern. Around the time it launched, the company acquired [[Mandalay Television]], then sold off its shares two years later before outright splitting in 2002.
On July 12, 2006, following its acquisition of [[Debmar-Mercury]], the company expanded into television syndication, although they previously handled syndication with the studio's film library prior. The company went to [[20th Television]] for advert sales, which distributed their output, with the exception of ''Meet the Browns'', which was handled by [[Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution|Disney-ABC Domestic Television]] and [[Warner Bros. Television Studios|Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution]].
In January 2024, [[Entertainment One]]'s television assets were folded into Lionsgate Television, and were succeeded by eOne Canada (now Lionsgate Canada) and Lionsgate Alternative Television for production of television shows, respectively, within and outside Canada.

Background
Lionsgate Television (formerly known as Lions Gate Television, Inc.) is the television division of Lionsgate Studios, established in 1997 with the film studio, which later became an incorporated entity on March 12, 1999. It is currently run by chairman Kevin Beggs and president Sandra Stern. Around the time it launched, the company acquired Mandalay Television, then sold off its shares two years later before outright splitting in 2002.
On July 12, 2006, following its acquisition of Debmar-Mercury, the company expanded into television syndication, although they previously handled syndication with the studio's film library prior. The company went to 20th Television for advert sales, which distributed their output, with the exception of Meet the Browns, which was handled by Disney-ABC Domestic Television and Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.
In January 2024, Entertainment One's television assets were folded into Lionsgate Television, and were succeeded by eOne Canada (now Lionsgate Canada) and Lionsgate Alternative Television for production of television shows, respectively, within and outside Canada.

Variants:
- On Shutterspeed, the logo is smaller and a byline is shown below saying "In Association With Mandalay Sports Action Entertainment".
- A similar version exists, instead saying "In Association With Mandalay Television".
- On the TV movie The Pilot's Wife, a still/filmed variant is seen, with the IAW byline below.
