Metromedia Logo History (#37)

Metromedia Producers Corporation (or often shortened as MPC) was established from Wolper Productions in 1968 after David L. Wolper broke apart from Metromedia (Wolper Productions was later relaunched in 1970). On March 6, 1986, Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation (later "21st Century Fox" and now owned by The Walt Disney Company, the current parent company of 20th Century Studios) acquired MPC and with it, the television stations owned by Metromedia for $3.5 billion. MPC was folded into 20th Century Fox Television, Metromedia Square (which was not included in the sale, instead being leased to Fox/News Corp) became "Fox Television Center", and the former Metromedia owned television stations were incorporated as the Fox Television Stations in April. These programs are now distributed worldwide by 20th Television. With the exception for The Merv Griffin Show, which MPC handled co-production and distribution from 1972 to 1983, which was later transferred to King World Productions (now "CBS Media Ventures") and Columbia Pictures Television (now "Sony Pictures Television") in 1986.
