'''Thames''' is a production company that is part of [[Fremantle|Fremantle UK]]. On January 1, 2012, FremantleMedia split its UK production arm [[Talkback Thames|Talkback '''Thames''']] into four companies: [[Talkback (2012-)|Talkback]] for comedy, Thames for entertainment, [[Boundless]] for factual and [[Retort]] for scripted comedy. The name was derived from the former ITV franchise holder and production company [[Thames (1968-2006)|'''Thames''' Television]]. |
|||
The '''[[Thames (1968-2005)|Thames]]''' production company was originally the production arm of [[Thames Television]], formed from a merger of the separate previous units [[ABC Television Productions]] and [[Rediffusion London Productions]]. Even after Thames had lost its ITV franchise in 1992 to [[Carlton Television|Carlton]], it continued on as a production company, which was acquired by [[Pearson Television]] in mid-1993 (itself sold to CLT-UFA in July 2000, merged to become the RTL Group, and rebranded as [[Fremantle|FremantleMedia]] in 2001). |
|||
⚫ | |||
On 10 February 2003, Thames was merged with another Fremantle subsidiary, [[Talkback (1984-2005)|Talkback]] to form [[Talkback Thames]], which was then split in 2012 into four production companies, resurrecting the Thames brand to focus on entertainment shows. |
