Warner Bros. Television Studios Logo History

Warner Bros. Television is the television division of Warner Bros. Pictures, founded on March 21, 1955 by studio vice president Jack L. Warner and headed by TV producer and actor William T. Orr (credited as "Wm. T. Orr"). The studio made its small screen debut with Warner Bros. Presents on September 20, 1955. On January 10, 1972, WBTV formed Warner Bros. Television Distribution. Then in 1989, after acquiring Lorimar-Telepictures, WBTVD formed Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution, the current syndication arm of WBTV.

Currently, it is a division of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery. In 2020, it was renamed Warner Bros. Television Studios as part of a restructure of WBD's TV studios. Despite the name change, the company is still designated as "Warner Bros. Television" on-screen and for other materials.
