I don't agree with adding Living TV Group to the article. The article is already massive as it is, considering it has five companies to begin with. Not to mention Living TV did not directly rebrand to the main Sky Originals name but rather to divisions part of said company. |

'''Sky Originals''' is the production television arm of [[Sky Channel/Sky One (UK)|Sky]] that was formed in 1993. It was first started as '''Wild Media''' (later known as '''HIT Wildlife''') and was a subsidiary of [[HIT Entertainment]] that produced and distributed nature and wildlife programming. 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. |
