'''Note:''' This will include Living TV Group, HIT Wildlife, Parthenon Entertainment, Sky Vision, NBCUniversal Global Distribution, and Sky Studios, because they all related to Sky's original programming.
 
===Background===
'''Sky Originals''' (formerly '''Sky One Productions''') is the main television production arm of [[Sky One|Sky]] that was formed in 1999, and is the successor to [[Sky Vision]] and [[Virgin Media Television|Living TV Group]]. Sky also operates '''Sky Studios''', which includes the production assets of Sky Vision.
'''Sky Originals''' is the production television arm of [[Sky Channel/Sky One (UK)|Sky]] that was formed in the 1980s. In 1990, another company was born as '''Flextech''', which has no relation to this company. It was then rebranded as '''Virgin Media Television''', and then it was rebranded again as '''Living TV Group''' when it was brought by [[Sky Channel/Sky One (UK)|Sky]], and it was merged into the latter in 2011. In 1993, it was set up once again as '''Wild Media''' (later known as '''HIT Wildlife'''), and was a subsidiary of [[HIT Entertainment]] that produced and distributed nature and wildlife programming, which has no relation to this company. The subsidiary was sold to a newly formed company called '''Parthenon Entertainment''' in 2002, which was founded by the former managing director of HIT Wildlife, Carl Hall. The rights to the programmes are now owned by Sky plc, who acquired Parthenon Entertainment in 2012, and was rebranded as '''Sky Vision'''. In April 2019, it was announced that Sky Vision's distribution business would be folded into Comcast's '''NBCUniversal Global Distribution'''. On October 1, Sky Vision Distribution officially merged with NBCUniversal Global Distribution. Production assets were transferred to newly founded '''Sky Studios''' in the same year.
