'''Paolo Meneguzzi''' (born 6 December 1976, as '''Pablo Meneguzzo''') is a Swiss Italian singer. He is the son of Loredana Pacchiani and Gomez Meneguzzo.

==Biography==
In 1996, while the name Paolo Meneguzzi was still unknown in Italy, Paolo won the [[Viña del Mar International Song Festival]], held in Chile with the song "Aria, Ariò". The success of the song prompted the release of his debut album "Por Amor" on 27 March 1997. Paolo continued to build his career with the release of another album, self-titled, which contained the anticipated single, "Si enamorarse".

Paolo Meneguzzi's Italian debut occurred with his participation in the Young Artists section at the [[Sanremo Music Festival]] in 2001. His song "Ed io non ci sto più" earned him seventh place.

That same year, the album ''Un sogno nelle mani'' was released.

He released a new single in 2002, "In nome dell'amore". In 2003, he released the single "Verofalso", and the album ''Lei è'', released in October that year, went gold (with 50,000 copies sold), and then double platinum (200,000 copies sold).

In 2004, he released the single "Guardami negli occhi (prego)", which reached fourth place with 127,346 votes at Sanremo, and the new edition of "Lei è" was released, containing an additional song, ''Baciami'', and the remixes of ''Lei è'' and ''Verofalso'', in addition to the song from Sanremo.

In June 2004, the ''Lei è'' tour from Bellinzona (CH) began, his first tour, that travelled throughout Italy and Switzerland and was more successful among young people than among small children.

In 2005, he once again participated in the Festival di Sanremo with the song ''Non capiva che l'amavo''. In the same week, the album ''Favola'' is released and after two weeks as a single, went platinum, selling over 200,000 copies.

After having spent the summer of 2005 between Italy and [[Switzerland]] with the ''Favola'' tour, Paolo dedicated himself to the creation of a new album. After two years of silence, he announced his participation in the Festival di Sanremo and of the release (on 9 March) of the album ''Musica''.

He participated in the Festival di Sanremo 2007, with the song ''Musica'', placing sixth, having gained much success and above all, the approval of Pippo Baudo, who defined him as "The Exemplar of the Festival di Sanremo".

''Musica'' was released on 9 March 2007, Paolo's fourth Italian album, following the release of the namesake single that remains the most sold in Italy.

On 21 April he began the ''Musica Tour'', still in Switzerland, but this time departing from Biasca. On 2 November, the fan club gathering with the artist took place in the studios of [[Radio Italia Solo Musica Italiana|Radio Italia]] in [[Cologno Monzese]].

On 26 November 2007, it was announced that Paolo would be representing his home country Switzerland in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2008]] in Belgrade, Serbia, competing with the pop ballad "[[Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008|Era stupendo]]". He took part in the second semi-final of the contest on Thursday 22 May 2008, competing against 18 other countries, all competing for one of 10 spots in the final on Saturday 24. However, he failed to qualify to the final.

Paolo participated in the [[Sanremo Music Festival 2008]], performing the song "Grande" and placing sixth.<ref name=CorriereFinal>{{Cite web | url = http://www.corriere.it/Spettacoli/2008/Sanremo/serata_finale_d869b2dc-e7d1-11dc-9342-0003ba99c667.shtml | work = [[Corriere della Sera]] | language = it | title = Trionfano Giò di Tonno e Lola Ponce | date = March 1, 2008}}</ref> The song was included in his fifth album, titled ''Corro via''. Released on 14 March 2008, it also features the single "Era stupendo".

Paolo Meneguzzi is the founder of "Progettoamore" (Love Project). Progettoamore is a charity founded in 2009, to support and help children and adolescents.<ref>http://www.progettoamore.ch/chi-siamo/ Progettoamore.ch</ref>

'''Banco Itaú S.A.''' was a former Brazilian bank that merged with [[Unibanco]] on November 4, 2008, to form [[Itaú Unibanco|Banco Itaú Unibanco]].

==History==
Banco Itaú began in 1945 under the name ''Banco Central de Crédito'' (Central Bank of Credit) and later changed its name to ''Banco Federal de Crédito'' (Federal Bank of Credit). In 1964, Banco Federal Itaú S.A. merged Banco Federal de Crédito and Banco Itaú, a rural bank belonging to a group originated in [[Itaú de Minas]], in [[Minas Gerais]] state.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ww2.itau.com.br/carreira/geral/historico_itau.asp|title=A trajetória do Banco Itaú|access-date=2010-11-16|publisher=Banco Itaú official site (in [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]])|archive-date=2011-07-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706153108/http://ww2.itau.com.br/carreira/geral/historico_itau.asp|url-status=dead}}</ref> Later that decade, Banco Itaú acquired Banco Sul Americano (1966) and [[Banco de América Central|Banco da América]] (1969).

In 2020, due to improper charges between 2008 and 2018, Itaú signed an agreement with the [[Central Bank of Brazil]] committing itself to returning 75.6 million Reais to its customers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Saque — Métodos e limites |url=https://cambici.com.br/retitada |access-date=2022-10-06 |website=Parimatch Brasil |language=pt-br}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Lehmann|first=Jeferson|date=2020-06-16|title=Banco Itaú pratica cobranças indevidas e devolverá R$ 75 milhões|url=https://lehmann.adv.br/banco-itau-pratica-cobrancas-indevidas/|access-date=2020-06-25|website=Lehmann Advogados|language=pt-BR}}</ref>

In the 1970s, it merged with Banco Aliança in [[Rio de Janeiro]] (1973), Banco Português do Brasil (1974), and Banco União Comercial (1974). In 1979, it opened its first operations abroad with a representative office in [[New York City]] and a subsidiary in [[Buenos Aires]].

In the 1980s, it acquired only one small bank, Banco Pinto de Magalhães (1985). Still, this enabled it to continue growing while other Brazilian banks were getting smaller. In 1984, it converted its representative office in New York to a branch.

In the 1990s, it acquired BFB (Banco Francês e Brasileiro) (1995) from [[Credit Lyonnais]], and also several privatized former state banks:

*1997: Banerj ([[Rio de Janeiro (state)|Rio de Janeiro]])
*1998: BEMGE ([[Minas Gerais]])
*2000: Banestado ([[Paraná (state)|Paraná]])
*2001: BEG ([[Goiás]])

During the 1990s, Banco Itaú invested heavily in automation, including [[Automated teller machine|ATM]]s and machines installed on customers' premises. At the same time, it cut its staff by more than 50%.

In 1994, it expanded its international operations by founding Banco Itaú [[Europe|Europa]], Banco Itaú Argentina, and Itaú Bank ([[Cayman Islands|Cayman]]). In 1997, it acquired Bamerindus [[Luxembourg]], which is now Banco Itaú Europa Luxembourg. When it acquired [[Banco del Buen Ayre]] in Argentina in 1998, it subsequently incorporated it into [[Banco Itaú Argentina]], now known as Banco [[Itaú Buen Ayre]].

Banco Itaú has also established a number of alliances. In 1996, it and [[Bankers Trust]], New York, created Itaú Bankers Trust Banco de Investimento, the present Itauvest Banco de Investimento. Banco Itaú also has an important stake in [[Banco BPI]], one of Portugal's largest banks. In 2002, Banco Itaú joined with Banco BBA-[[Creditanstalt]] S.A. (BBA) to create, in 2003, [[Banco Itaú-BBA]], the largest wholesale bank in Brazil.

In the 2000s (decade), it continued to acquire banks. In 2002, it acquired Banco Fiat, together with all of [[Fiat]]'s auto financing activities. In 2004, it opened a branch in [[Tokyo]].

Then, in April 2006, Banco Itaú purchased the Brazilian operations of [[BankBoston]], a subsidiary that [[Bank of America]] acquired with its purchase of [[FleetBoston]]. This increased Banco Itaú's clients by 300,000 and assets by R$22 billion. In return, Bank of America took about a 6% stake in Banco Itaú. [[BankBoston do Brazil]] had been founded in 1947. With the purchase, the BankBoston name disappeared from Brazil as Bank of America retained the rights to the name. Banco Itaú also received exclusive rights to purchase BankBoston's operations in [[Chile]] and [[Uruguay]]. In late 2006, it exercised these rights, and in late 2006 and early 2007, it received the necessary regulatory approvals. These two operations became Banco [[Itaú Chile]] and Banco [[Itaú Uruguay]].

On November 2, 2008, Banco Itaú and the third largest Brazilian private banking group, [[Unibanco]], announced their intention to [[merger|merge]].<ref>{{cite web

'''Nicaragüense de Aviación''' (also known as '''NICA''') was an airline based in [[Nicaragua]]. Its main hub was the [[Augusto C. Sandino International Airport]]. The commercial airline was a full associate member of the [[Grupo TACA]] alliance of [[El Salvador]].

==History==
NICA was founded in 1992 from the remains of [[Aeronica]] and commenced operations from [[Managua]] to [[Miami]]. In 1994, the [[Grupo TACA]] acquired 49% of NICA and reorganized the airline without government intervention.

In 2004, the airline ceased operations and merged with [[TACA Airlines]]. Its domestic flight duties were given to Nicaragua's domestic flag carrier, [[La Costeña (airline)|La Costeña]], who also joined the [[TACA Regional]] alliance. La Costeña however, differs from NICA because it still operates under its company name.

His most remembered appearance was on April 19, [[2013]], when he interrupted the inauguration of [[Nicolás Maduro]] in the [[National Assembly (Venezuela)|National Assembly of Venezuela.]]

== Biography ==
Sánchez suffered from [[bipolar disorder]] and [[schizophrenia]], as determined by psychiatric tests he underwent as an adult. His parents divorced when he was four years old. As a child he received numerous citations in many schools; they made fun of him for cheating on exams and for being "crazy". In an interview with [[Carla Angola]] on the program Buenas Noches, on [[Globovisión]], Sánchez stated that at the age of eleven he started a competition with a friend, Juan Salas, to decide who could sneak into more public events. Sánchez began by interrupting the musicians [[Servando y Florentino]], in [[Caracas]], and continued climbing for seven hours on pier 21 of the Maracaibo Bridge; after asking the governor of [[Zulia]] for help, he received ten thousand bolivars by then.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2018-07-23 |title=Yendri Sánchez relató cómo violó la seguridad en la AN hace casi tres años |url=http://www.panorama.com.ve/espectaculos/Yendri-Sanchez-relato-como-violo-la-seguridad-en-la-AN-hace-casi-tres-anos-20160218-0033.html |access-date=2022-04-27 |website= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180723122611/http://www.panorama.com.ve/espectaculos/Yendri-Sanchez-relato-como-violo-la-seguridad-en-la-AN-hace-casi-tres-anos-20160218-0033.html |archive-date=23 July 2018 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

He later hugged [[Lionel Messi]] at the [[Copa América]]<ref name=":1" /> and took the crown from Miss [[Cojedes (state)|Cojedes]], [[Dayana Mendoza]], during [[Miss Venezuela 2007]], after posing as Miss Zulia's stylist.<ref>{{Citation |title=Final Miss Venezuela 2007 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKJGJ1SNfjs |language=en |access-date=2022-04-27}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=Le robaron la corona |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQHoaml2vGE |language=en |access-date=2022-04-27}}</ref> After the incident, he was even rebuked by [[Osmel Sousa]] and it was the staff's priority to identify him during beauty pageants. For two consecutive years he went indoors to the baseball field where the [[Águilas del Zulia]] played. At the Luis Aparicio stadium he climbed on the scaffolding where [[Tito El Bambino]] was. In a presentation he took the chain from [[Chayanne]], jewel, he explains, that he sold for 25,000 [[Venezuelan bolívar|bolívares]] and it was used to buy a plasma TV, a DVD, a laptop, clothes, shoes and food. During a raid by the [[Bolivarian Intelligence Service]] (SEBIN) on his [[ranch]], all his purchased belongings were stolen by the troops. Sánchez has also infiltrated [[Manuel Rosales]]' campaign closings, and in one act he approached President [[Hugo Chávez]] posing as an escort. From then on, every time Chávez visited the state of [[Zulia]], he sent SEBIN troops to walk his family, give them food and give them money, knowing that they could circumvent his security, and when the presidential escorts called the intelligence service to report that Chávez was leaving the state were returned home. In 2011, a file was opened on Yendri for the charge of aggravated robbery in a frustrated degree, being accused by a doctor from the [[PDVSA]] clinic, in La Salina, [[Cabimas]], because she found him in his office checking his wallet, despite the fact that Yendri assured that "he had not stolen anything from her."<ref name=":1" />

In 2013, Yendri climbed on the platform during an act of the presidential candidate [[Henrique Capriles]] and on April 19, 2013, Yendri sneaked into the inauguration of [[Nicolás Maduro]]. In an interview with [[Diario Panorama|Panorama]], he explains that he did it because he wanted to "beat Juan" and ask Maduro for help for his family; He put on a borrowed red jacket, went to the [[National Assembly (Venezuela)|National Assembly]] and pretended to be the son of [[Diosdado Cabello]]. The security guards, surprised, did not ask him for anything and sat him down next to [[María Gabriela Chávez]] and [[Potro Álvarez]]. When she asked him who he was, he replied that he was the son of [[Jesse Chacón]]. After 15 minutes of starting the national network, Yendri ran to Maduro, took his microphone from him and asked for help before being intercepted by the security of the event.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Citation |title=Nicolás me llamo Yendri ayudame por favor Remasterizado en 4K con IA |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwg7YCDhh-M |language=en |access-date=2022-04-27}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=Espontáneo interrumpió discurso del presidente Maduro |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umAVb22hXWg |language=en |access-date=2022-04-27}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=así fue como Yendri Sánchez interrumpió un acto de Capriles |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B9kjVuM1rw |language=en |access-date=2022-04-27}}</ref> The image of the signal of the national network that transmitted the ceremony and the sound were turned off, and Maduro reappeared moments later declaring that there had been "a security breach."

For the act, Sánchez was sentenced to one year and five months in prison in the Coro Penitentiary Community, [[Falcón|Falcón state]],<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-04-21 |title=Envían a la cárcel al hombre que interrumpió a Maduro en la juramentación |url=https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2013/04/21/envian-a-la-carcel-al-hombre-que-interrumpio-a-maduro-en-la-juramentacion/ |access-date=2022-04-27 |website=CNN |language=es}}</ref> where his mental illness worsened, facing charges of terrorism, organized crime, criminal association and aggravated offense against head of government, charged by prosecutor [[Katherine Haringhton|Katherine Harrington.]]Although Maduro said during the broadcast that he would speak with Sánchez later, he never contacted him.

A commissioner paid for the medicines and the sewing of 18 stitches on his arm, and another commissioner paid for three psychiatric sessions.<ref name=":1" />

He lived with a friend in [[Ciudad Ojeda]], in the state of [[Zulia]], because the ranch where he grew up, also in Ciudad Ojeda, was demolished to build a house offered by President [[Hugo Chávez|Chávez]]. Despite having been started and having the facade ready, it was flooded because it was not finished, it had no electricity or connected services and it lacked floors and bathrooms, making it uninhabitable.<ref name=":1" />

Yendri Sánchez was found dead on August 6, 2018 in the house where he lived, in a state of decomposition, where, according to security personnel, his hands and feet were tied, with a bag over his head.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-08-06 |title=Encuentran muerto a Yendri Sánchez, famoso por violar seguridad de Maduro |url=https://nuevodia.com.ve/2018/08/06/encontraron-muerto-y-maniatado-a-yendri-sanchez-famoso-por-violar-seguridad-de-maduro/ |access-date=2022-04-27 |website=Nuevo Día |language=es}}</ref>

Two weeks later, the scientific police of the [[Cuerpo de Investigaciones Científicas, Penales y Criminalísticas|CICPC]] arrested three suspects in [[Ciudad Ojeda]], according to the Ministry of the Interior, the subjects confessed "to having incurred in an episode of sexual extravagance in which they strangled" Yendri Sánchez, ruling out robbery as the reason for the homicide initially considered by the investigative bodies.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-08-19 |title=Yendri Sánchez fue asesinado durante un encuentro sexual "extravagante" |url=https://venezuelaaldia.com/2018/08/18/yendri-sanchez-fue-asesinado-encuentro-sexual-extravagante/ |access-date=2022-04-27 |website=Venezuela al dia |language=es}}</ref>

'''Disney XD''' is a Latin American [[pay television]] [[television channel|channel]] owned by [[The Walt Disney Company]] and one of the channels of [[Disney Branded Television]] which operates across Mexico, [[Central America]], [[South America]] and the [[Caribbean]] region.

It is broadcast throughout the region into five feeds, and features animated programs, sitcoms, and mostly some [[Marvel Entertainment|Marvel]] and [[Lucasfilm]] [[Television show|programs]] and [[Film|movies]].<ref name="anmtvla">[http://www.anmtvla.com/2009/06/exclusivo-anmtv-llega-disney-xd-y-te.html Exclusivo ANMTV: Llega Disney XD y te presentamos toda su programación – Anime, Manga y TV]. [Disney XD arrives and we present all its programming.] Anmtvla.com. Retrieved on 2011-04-09.</ref> Primarily marketed to kids and teenagers from seven to fourteen (7-14) years old.

It is directly operated by Disney Media Networks and [[The Walt Disney Company Latin America]]. Launched on November 8, 1996 as an international feed of [[Fox Kids]], it was rebranded as Disney XD in 2009 after five years under Disney's interim Jetix branding. The network will close on March 31, 2022, with its content shifting to [[Disney Channel (Latin American TV channel)|Disney Channel]] and [[Disney+]].

==History==

=== As Fox Kids (1996–2004) ===
[[File:FOX Kids logo.svg|thumb|Fox Kids logo used from 1998 to 2004.]]
The channel was launched on November 8, 1996, as [[Fox Kids]], originally owned by Fox Kids Worldwide Inc.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Stiletano|first=Marcelo|date=October 5, 1996|title=La TV tiró un buen cable|language=ES-AR|trans-title=The TV threw a good cable|work=La Nación|url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/espectaculos/la-tv-tiro-un-buen-cable-nid169141/|access-date=2022-02-26|issn=0325-0946}}</ref> (A joint venture between [[Saban Entertainment]] and [[News Corporation]]) Being the third overseas market the channel reached at the time (after the [[Fox Kids (Australia)|Australian]] and [[Disney XD (UK and Ireland)|UK]] feeds) and the first non-English version to launch. Until by July 24, 2001, the channels under the Fox Kids brand, were sold to The Walt Disney Company for US$5.3 Billion.<ref>{{Cite web|date=July 25, 2001|title=Disney compra 100% de Fox Family Worldwide|trans-title=Disney buys 100% of Fox Family Worldwide|url=https://mercado.com.ar/empresas-negocios/disney-compra-100-de-fox-family-worldwide/|access-date=January 30, 2022|website=Mercado Argentina|language=Spanish}}</ref>

=== As Jetix (2004–2009) ===
On August 1, 2004, the TV network was rebranded as [[Jetix]] with added new Disney content.<ref>{{Cite web|date=January 9, 2004|title=El canal Fox Kids cambia de nombre: nace Jetix|trans-title=The Fox Kids channel changes its name: Jetix is born.|url=https://www.adlatina.com/articulo.php?slug=/publicidad/el-canal-fox-kids-cambia-de-nombre-nace-jetix|url-status=live|access-date=January 30, 2022|website=Adlantina|language=Spanish|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211104170146/https://www.adlatina.com/articulo.php?slug=/publicidad/el-canal-fox-kids-cambia-de-nombre-nace-jetix |archive-date=2021-11-04 }}</ref> It was the first Fox Kids network to rebrand as Jetix.

=== As Disney XD (2009–2022) ===
In May 2009, after [[Toon Disney]] was rebranded to [[Disney XD]] in the United States, the Latin American-Disney branch confirmed Disney XD would replace Jetix in Latin America on July 3, 2009. On January 18, 2010, a Pacific feed was introduced for all South American Pacific countries and Bolivia outside Colombia. In August 2016, the channel moved to a full-time widescreen presentation, launching high-definition operations in each territory when technically able to. The Pacific South American feed shifted to a -1 hour feed of the eastern feed in June 2017.

==History==

=== As Fox Kids (1996–2004) ===
[[File:FOX Kids logo.svg|thumb|Fox Kids logo used from 1998 to 2004.]]
The channel was launched on November 8, 1996, as [[Fox Kids]], originally owned by Fox Kids Worldwide Inc.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Stiletano|first=Marcelo|date=October 5, 1996|title=La TV tiró un buen cable|language=ES-AR|trans-title=The TV threw a good cable|work=La Nación|url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/espectaculos/la-tv-tiro-un-buen-cable-nid169141/|access-date=2022-02-26|issn=0325-0946}}</ref> (A joint venture between [[Saban Entertainment]] and [[News Corporation]]) Being the third overseas market the channel reached at the time (after the [[Fox Kids (Australia)|Australian]] and [[Disney XD (UK and Ireland)|UK]] feeds) and the first non-English version to launch. Until by July 24, 2001, the channels under the Fox Kids brand, were sold to The Walt Disney Company for US$5.3 Billion.<ref>{{Cite web|date=July 25, 2001|title=Disney compra 100% de Fox Family Worldwide|trans-title=Disney buys 100% of Fox Family Worldwide|url=https://mercado.com.ar/empresas-negocios/disney-compra-100-de-fox-family-worldwide/|access-date=January 30, 2022|website=Mercado Argentina|language=Spanish}}</ref>

=== As Jetix (2004–2009) ===
On August 1, 2004, the TV network was rebranded as [[Jetix]] with added new Disney content.<ref>{{Cite web|date=January 9, 2004|title=El canal Fox Kids cambia de nombre: nace Jetix|trans-title=The Fox Kids channel changes its name: Jetix is born.|url=https://www.adlatina.com/articulo.php?slug=/publicidad/el-canal-fox-kids-cambia-de-nombre-nace-jetix|url-status=live|access-date=January 30, 2022|website=Adlantina|language=Spanish|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211104170146/https://www.adlatina.com/articulo.php?slug=/publicidad/el-canal-fox-kids-cambia-de-nombre-nace-jetix |archive-date=2021-11-04 }}</ref> It was the first Fox Kids network to rebrand as Jetix.

=== As Disney XD (2009–2022) ===
In May 2009, after [[Toon Disney]] was rebranded to [[Disney XD]] in the United States, the Latin American-Disney branch confirmed Disney XD would replace Jetix in Latin America on July 3, 2009. On January 18, 2010, a Pacific feed was introduced for all South American Pacific countries and Bolivia outside Colombia. In August 2016, the channel moved to a full-time widescreen presentation, launching high-definition operations in each territory when technically able to. The Pacific South American feed shifted to a -1 hour feed of the eastern feed in June 2017.

'''Boing''' is an Italian [[free-to-air]] [[television channel]] marketed at children and teenagers, owned by Boing S.p.A., a joint venture of [[Fininvest]]'s [[Mediaset]] (through its RTI subsidiary) and [[AT&T]]'s [[WarnerMedia]] (through its International division).<ref name=cnbc>{{cite news |last1=Feiner |first1=Lauren |title=WarnerMedia reorganizes its leadership team after AT&T acquisition |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/04/warnermedia-reorganizes-its-leadership-team-after-att-acquisition.html |access-date=March 4, 2019 |work=CNBC |date=March 4, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mediaset.it/corporate/televisione/italia/dtt/canaligratuiti_en.shtml|title=Mediaset Group – Corporate – Free channels|website=www.mediaset.it|access-date=December 9, 2018}}</ref> It is available on digital terrestrial television and [[free-to-air]] satellite provider [[Tivùsat]].

== History ==
The channel launched on 20 November 2004 at 8:00 pm, after replacing [[VJ TV]] some months prior with a sign that said ''Boing, in arrivo.'' (Boing, coming soon.). In 2006 the channel rebranded to a new transparent screenbug and logo in promos, to follow the brand identity of Mediaset's other channels. The change included a new graphics package, introducing Animadz. Most of the Animadz lasted until August 2020. With the birth of [[Cartoonito (Italy)|Cartoonito]] in 2011, the channel increased its demographic to include 7–16-year olds. All preschool programs and blocks were moved to Cartoonito's schedule.

Boing rebranded to a new graphics package along with its [[Boing (Spanish TV channel)|Spanish]] and [[Boing (French TV channel)|French]] versions developed by [[Lumbre]] on 7 March 2016, teased from the week prior. Most of the Animadz remained with a new look, however many were removed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Boing Italy Rebrands Monday 7th March|url=http://www.regularcapital.com/2016/03/boing-italy-rebrands-monday-7th-march/|website=RegularCapital: Cartoon Network International News|access-date=September 3, 2016}}</ref>

On 11 July 2019 another channel, '''Boing Plus''', was launched, replacing [[Pop (British and Irish TV channel)#International versions|Pop]]. This channel is a 1-hour timeshift feed of both Boing and Cartoonito, with Cartoonito's programming being shown from 4:00 am–1:00 pm and Boing's programming for the rest of the day.<ref>https://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/la-jv-turner-mediaset-sbarca-canale-45-digitale-terrestre-ACoLywX</ref>

On 30 August 2020 Boing rebranded again to a new graphics package by [[Art&Graft]], with only 2 Animadz remaining.<ref>{{Cite web|date=September 1, 2020|title=Boing, via al rebrand del canale con un nuovo look & feel – Digital-News|url=https://www.digital-news.it/news/televisione/46913/boing-via-al-rebrand-del-canale-con-un-nuovo-look-feel|access-date=March 17, 2021|website=Digital-News.it|language=it-IT}}</ref>

The '''2003 Chilean telethon''' ([[Spanish language|Spanish]]: ''Teletón 2003'') was the 18th version of the [[Teletón (Chile)|charity campaign]] held in [[Chile]] since 1978, which took place on November 21–22, 2003. As in the previous year the theme of this version was "The Telethon is Yours" (''La Teletón es tuya''). The amount of money taken during the day suggested the goal would not be achieved, in the end it required a cash assistance by the [[Government of Chile]] to meet the goal. The [[poster boy]] chosen for the event was Camilo Valverde.

'''Teletón''' is a charity event held in [[Chile]] on a yearly basis since 1978. It is usually held during the first week of December, unless a political election occurs at the same time. The major [[Chile]]an [[television]] networks hold a 27-hour transmission, to raise funds to help children with developmental disabilities (most commonly [[cerebral palsy]]) treated at ''Instituto de Rehabilitación Infantil'' ("Infant Rehabilitation Institute") centers of the '''Fundación Teletón'''.

Since the first telethon, over US$286 million has been raised, and 13 rehabilitation centers have been built in the cities of [[Arica]], [[Iquique]], [[Antofagasta]], [[Calama, Chile|Calama]], [[Copiapó]], [[Coquimbo]], [[Valparaíso]], [[Santiago, Chile|Santiago]], [[Talca]], [[Concepción, Chile|Concepción]], [[Temuco]], [[Puerto Montt]] and [[Coyhaique]]. Currently, one new center for the city of [[Valdivia]] is under construction.

During the annual event, local and worldwide stars participate in live events across the country. Teletón has been hosted by television personality Mario Kreutzberger, best known by his stage name [[Don Francisco (television host)|Don Francisco]], since the first event, aired in 1978. Each year, a [[poster child]] is elected to become the face of the charity.

With the exception of the initial Teletón in 1978, each year's goal is set to be exactly the total amount raised in the previous event, in the spirit of increasing the funds available to the Foundation to account for increased inflation and overall maintenance costs.
Up until now, the goal has been reached and surpassed on all Teletón versions with the exception of 1995's, were the final account was roughly 12% short of that year's goal.

In Chile, the transmission of Teletón is an event of national unity <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Ferrante|first=Carolina|date=2018|title='Machetear' : Surviving Disability Through Mendicity in the North of Chile|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1875067217301499|journal=Alter|volume=12|issue=1|pages=34–35|doi=10.1016/j.alter.2017.12.006|via=Elsevier|doi-access=free}}</ref> and, proportionately, the most widely watched telethon in the world.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}}

The '''2008 Chilean telethon''' was the 22nd edition of the [[Teletón (Chile)|solidarity event]] in [[Chile]], produced on 28 and 29 November 2008, which sought to raise funds for the rehabilitation of children with mobility problems.

The event, transmitted on Chilean TV channels grouped into ANATEL, began at 2200 on 28 November at the [[:es:Teatro Teletón|Teatro Teletón]], from which most of the event was transmitted. There were also links to subsidiary events throughout the country. As in the previous 13 years, the closing ceremony of Telethon 2008 took place at the [[National Stadium of Chile]]. This ceremony started at 2200 on the next day and took the form of a great show in which Chilean and international artists participated.

The official slogan of this campaign was "Thanks to you, we can continue" and the focus was on commemorating the 30th anniversary of the first telethon, held in 1978. In this edition Catalina Aranda was chosen as the [[poster boy|poster girl]].

With nearly 29 hours of uninterrupted transmission, ending at 0251 on 30 November, it became the longest version in the history of the Telethon. The final amount raised was [[Chilean peso|CL$]] 22,533,294,849 (approx. US$ 39 million), almost 70% above the original goal of CL$ 13,255,231,970, making it the most successful Telethon since 1994. Around $ 8,000,000,000 was collected in only 7 hours.

During the campaign, Luis Haro set a new world record by playing tennis for more than 60 hours to support the cause.

It was the last Telethon under the first governorship of [[Michelle Bachelet]].

== Background ==
After the success achieved during the Telethon 2007 campaign - and after 30 years of existence - the solidarity campaign decided to mark some milestones in the new edition of 2008. [[Don Francisco (television host)|Don Francisco (Mario Kreutzberger)]], the presenter and leader of the event, stated in May 2008 that the principal objective of the campaign would be to show the success achieved during its three decades of existence through the testimonies of health professionals, patients and their families, as well as the artists and all those who had actively participated.

The leaders of the Telethon Foundation stressed the importance of raising funds in this event, as it was not planned to hold the event in the following year owing to the presidential elections scheduled for December 2009. This recurring situation generates economic problems for the organisation in view of the high cost of treatments, growing demand by new disabled patients, and the planning and design of new rehabilitation centres. For this reason, the presenters pressed for increased donations to cover the following two years.

In October the Telethon Foundation announced two large projects that it would be bringing together during this campaign. The first would be the enlarging of the Telethon Institute in [[Santiago de Chile|Santiago]],<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://teleton.cl/institutos/santiago/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=2010-11-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101026005347/http://teleton.cl/institutos/santiago/ |archive-date=2010-10-26 |url-status=dead }}</ref> which was in the evaluation stage with the Regional Metropolitan Government. The second would be the renovation of the Telethon Theatre, marking the bicentennial of the founding of Chile. The plans were for the construction of a new area with 1,600 seats, with space and facilities to accommodate any number of artists. In addition there would be an underground area of four floors, an event centre and a nine-storey tower.

The campaign would also seek to collect funds for the construction of four rehabilitation institutes in the cities of [[Calama, Chile|Calama]], [[Coihaique]], [[Copiapó]] and [[Valdivia]]. Although Telethon 2007 had provided a considerable sum for the construction of the Telethon Institute in Calama, various problems had delayed the project. Some days before the Telethon event the government, through the Ministry of Social Welfare, donated the land for the centres at Calama and Coihaique.

== The Campaign ==

In early June the Telethon Foundation launched a competition called "Painting the Telethon" under the patronage of the Ministry of Education and the Faculty of Arts in the [[University of Chile]] and the sponsorship of various companies. The competition sought bring the campaign closer to young children of pre-school and junior school age, entering the best work into the promotional campaign of Telethon 2008. The last day of entry was 11 July and the prize- giving was on 19 August.<ref>Fundación Teletón Chile, [http://www.teleton.cl/images_pinta/bases_pinta.pdf «Bases del Concurso "Pinta la Teletón 2008"»]{{Dead link|date=September 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

The public launch of Telethon 2008 had been scheduled for 30 May in the "Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna" school in Santiago with Don Francisco. However, the previous day, the Government of Chile announced a period of official mourning for the air accident in Panama that cost the lives of the then Director General of the [[Carabineros#Chilean carabineros|Carabineros]], [[José Alejandro Bernales]], and another 10 people. Therefore the Foundation decided to cancel this event and launch the campaign privately.

During August, when Chile was celebrating "Solidarity Month", Telethon launched an advertising campaign in various media to thank all those who had made possible the development and growth of the institution during its 30 years of existence. The campaign, named "National Pride", extended through the whole of August, delivering the message "Thanks to you" to everyone who had taken part. Members of the Telethon Institute for Children's Rehabilitation travelled Chile from north to south giving thanks to the community, the regional governments and the communications media. Starting that month, advertising spots on television broadcast the phrase "Thanks to you and all Chileans for the gift of these first 30 years of Telethon".

The official launch of Telethon 2008 finally took place on 3 September in the Telethon Theatre. In attendance were the senior authorities of the Institution, government representatives, the communications media, artists, and various people linked to charitable work. During the event Catalina Aranda, a girl of 11, was introduced as the poster girl for the campaign. The anthem "Gracias a tí" (Eng:Thanks to you), composed by Alberto Plaza and Mario Guerrero, was sung by well-known Chilean artists. The publicity campaign that would run during the following weeks in the communications media was developed by the Prolam, Young & Rubicam Publicity Agency; the Chilean film-maker [[Andrés Wood]] also took part.

In addition, on 5 September the programme "Telethon Ambassadors" was introduced. This initiative was organised by the Telethon Foundation and sought to make this innovative social marketing project into an inclusive project of [[corporate social responsibility]]. The event, put on in the Telethon Theatre, was attended by workers from the campaign's sponsoring companies, who were designated as official representatives of the Foundation within their companies with the goal of actively supporting the creation and development of promotional initiatives for Telethon 2008 in their workplace.

== Final stage ==
Although the solidarity campaign was officially introduced in September, after which advertisements could be seen promoting the event, the Telethon 2008 campaign was relaunched on 27 October from the Hyatt Hotel Santiago, with the presence of Don Francisco and various Chilean artists. The relaunch, which commenced immediately after the municipal elections, marked the final stage of the advertising campaign of this edition.

During that event the structure of the show, to be televised on 28 and 29 November, was made known. It would include numerous Chilean and international artists and the popular sections like "Vedetón" (Cabaret), "Bailetón" (Dance-a-thon), and "Levántate papito" (Get Up, Daddy), as well as comedy acts and a showball match organized by the Chilean ex-footballer [[Iván Zamorano]].<ref>EMOL.com, [http://www.emol.com/noticias/magazine/detalle/detallenoticias.asp?idnoticia=328155 «Don Francisco: La Teletón sólo tuvo éxito porque surgió con un país en crisis»]</ref> Within this plan a huge advertising sign would be inaugurated at midday on 28 October in part of [[Plaza Baquedano]], a traditional meeting place in Santiago, to display the days and seconds until the event was to begin.

During November, the traditional Telethon Tour spread across the country, headed by Don Francisco and largely supported by various entertainers and artists who came along voluntarily. On the tour a number of occurrences filled the front pages of the daily papers. The inauguration of the Rehabilitation Centre in Valdivia for 2010 was announced, and in the city of [[Puerto Montt]] a woman made a karate attack by a woman on the guitarist of the group [[Chancho en Piedra]] during a song. Hours before the start of the telethon, the businessman Pedro Lizana said that "the telethon is a national disgrace, because disability is a concern of the state and is not a spectacle", similar accusations to those made by the communist leader [[Gladys Marín]] in 2002.

=== Private contributions ===
The largest donations that day, indeed in the history of the Telethon up to then, were handed over by the businessmen [[Leonardo Farkas]] and José Luis Nazar, who each gave CLP$1,000 million (about USD$1.5 million). Both donations were in their own names, not on behalf of their businesses. Nevertheless, the mining entrepreneur (Farkas) admitted in the newspaper ''[[Las Últimas Noticias]]'' that $50 million of the $1,000 million came from the Santa Fe mining company.

The '''1995 Chilean telethon''' was the 13th version of the [[Teletón (Chile)|solidarity campaign]] held in Chile since 1978. The theme of this version was ''"Our great work."'' The event took place on 1–2 December 1995. The chosen [[poster boy]] for the campaign was Marcel Cáceres.

The event, broadcast over twenty seven consecutive hours, was conducted primarily at the Teatro Teleton and the closing of the programme was broadcast from the [[National Stadium of Chile|National Stadium]], the first time that the closing of the program was held there. During the early hours of Sunday, 3 December the final count was given, a total of CL$ 5,005,253,668. Although that figure far exceeded the amount collected from the last telethon (CL$ 3,138,513,916), the goal was to double that amount, so it was the first and, so far, the only telethon that has failed the objective.

==Development==
As usual, the Telethon was opened in the presence of various authorities with an emotional keynote address by [[Don Francisco (television host)|Don Francisco]], where he announced that the goal for this year would be double the amount raised in the previous edition, making the goal CL$ 6,277,027,832. In the first count, held at 23.15, the enthusiasm was high as the figure given by the [[Banco de Chile|Bank of Chile]] reached $ 32,357,523, more than double the proceeds from the 1994 Telethon at the same time. But as the next few hours passed, the donations began to wane, and at 00.17, the second count nearly equalled the figure of last year's event, and by 10am it had not even surpassed 700 million pesos. During that time, a group of government politicians and members of the government opposition did a comic piece called "Policoro."

The figures throughout the day were not encouraging, at 17.42, a new total showed only CL$ 1,879,164,121.

When the final leg of the presentation started at the Teatro Teleton (about 19.00), Don Francisco asked TV channels for a one-hour delay in transmission of their newscasts to urge Chileans to go to the bank. The channels accepted the proposal and, at 22.00, Francisco gave the new total CL$ 3,208,291,257.

The likelihood that the goal would not be reached became more and more apparent, two hours before the end of the event and the total had only just passed the previous events, half of the goal. In an interview on [[Canal 13 (Chile)|Channel 13]] newscast, ''[[Teletrece]]'', Don Francisco, before going to the [[National Stadium of Chile|National Stadium]], stating that nothing had worked as planned, and asking people to go back to the bank if possible, and that he did not think the goal would be met, although he hoped at least to get close to it.<ref>{{youtube|WhF_Ch0by8U|Teletrece, edición central, 2 de diciembre de 1995.}}</ref>

For the first time the closing event was at the National Stadium, which was filled to capacity. At 23.26, a new total was given, CL$ 3,908,243,017. Don Francisco finally admitted that the goal will not be reached, which was confirmed when at 00.33, the numbers barely exceeded $ 4,200 million.

The transmission extended for an hour and at 2.06 the final count was CL$ 5,005,253,668, nearly 1,200 million pesos less than expected. Prior to closing, Don Francisco thanked all those involved and expressed his respect for those who did not. Days later, the Bank of Chile gave the final count of $ 5,534,774,829, which would become the goal for the [[1996 Chilean telethon|next edition]].

Universal Orlando is one of the most visited resorts in the world, with an annual attendance of 21 million in 2017.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.teaconnect.org/Resources/Theme-Index/|title=Theme Index|publisher=Themed Entertainment Association|access-date=2018-05-30}}</ref> Universal Orlando is the flagship resort of [[Universal Parks & Resorts]], especially due to the competitive nature between the resort and [[Walt Disney World]] only 15 miles away.

==History==
Universal Orlando opened on June 7, 1990 as the theme park [[Universal Studios Florida]]. It was opened as a joint venture between [[NBCUniversal|Universal Entertainment]] and [[The Blackstone Group]]. The park was in direct competition with Disney-MGM Studios (now called [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]]).

In 1994, executives started planning the expansion of the resort into a multi-day vacation destination. In late 1995, construction began on a new park, [[Islands of Adventure]]. The Islands of Adventure Preview Center opened in May 1997 replacing the Screen Test Home Video Adventure. During this time, several new attractions were being built and opened at Universal Studios Florida, including Woody Woodpecker's KidZone, which opened in 1998, [[Men in Black: Alien Attack]] and Animal Actors On Location! (formerly Animal Planet Live).

On May 28, 1999, Universal's Islands of Adventure opened to the general public. It featured six themed "islands", including the Port of Entry, Seuss Landing, The Lost Continent, Jurassic Park, Toon Lagoon, and [[Marvel Super Hero Island]]. The park opened to mediocre attendance, and several attractions were closed shortly thereafter, including [[List of former Islands of Adventure attractions#Island Skipper Tours|Island Skipper Tours]], due to lack of attendance.

Along with the new theme park, the resort also opened a Florida version of [[Universal CityWalk]] from [[Universal Studios Hollywood]]. [[Universal CityWalk|CityWalk Orlando]], but with different venues and design. Universal also opened the resort's first onsite hotel in September 1999. Loews Portofino Bay Hotel (originally Portofino Bay Hotel, a Loews Hotel) was operated and partially owned by [[Loews Hotels]] but was also partially owned by Universal and [[The Blackstone Group]]. The two theme parks, CityWalk, and the hotel were branded as Universal Studios Escape, however the name was quickly changed to Universal Orlando Resort.

In December 2000, Hard Rock Hotel opened as Universal Orlando's second onsite hotel. Despite its name, the hotel is owned by Loews Hotels, like Loews Portofino Bay Hotel and is not affiliated with [[Hard Rock International]]. In 2001, Loews Royal Pacific Resort opened. In the midst of all these openings, two parking garages were constructed and the popular water park [[Wet 'n Wild Orlando]] was acquired. In 2003, rumors began swirling that a Harry Potter themed attraction would be coming to Universal or one of the Disney parks. On May 31, 2007, Universal, in partnership with Warner Bros., officially announced [[The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Universal Orlando Resort)|the Wizarding World of Harry Potter]] would be added to its Islands of Adventure park. Just over three years later, on June 18, 2010, the seventh "island" at Universal's Islands of Adventure, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, opened.

Shortly after the massive success of the grand opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade, rumors began to swirl once again, this time of a second Potter-themed area in Universal Studios Florida. It was announced shortly thereafter that Universal would begin construction of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter -Diagon Alley, replacing [[Jaws (ride)|Jaws: The Ride]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-hill/a-huffington-post-exclusi_1_b_3233177.html|title=Exclusive: A Detailed Look at Diagon Alley, the Highly Anticipated Expansion of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort|last=Hill|first=Jim|date=May 8, 2013|website=Huffington Post|language=en-US|access-date=February 27, 2018}}</ref> On July 8, 2014, Diagon Alley officially opened to the public.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/09/the-wizarding-world-of-harry-potter-diagon-alley-officially-opens|title=The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley Officially Opens|last=Goldman|first=Eric|date=July 8, 2014|website=IGN|language=en-US|access-date=February 27, 2018}}</ref>

==Death==
Canserbero died in an apparent [[murder–suicide]] on January 20, 2015, in Maracay.

On January 20, 2015, Canserbero was found dead in front of his apartment. The artist is supposed to be found from the tenth floor of the Camino Real building in the Andrés Bello urbanization in Maracay. [7] Initially, some of his close friends maintained that the artist stayed in the apartment of Carlos Molnar, a friend and co-worker, since he was suffering from schizophrenia. Molnar was killed that same day by stabbing. On the other hand, the Ombudsman of Venezuela, Tarek William Saab, in March of the same year, reopened the case, since there are other additional details that straighten some hypotheses of the "witnesses". The first hypothesis is based on the fact that the kitchen window was made of romanillas and all the glasses were previously removed, which causes intrigue, given the "presumed" psychotic state in which Canserbero was used at the time of launching. [Quote required] "Having taken the romanillas out of the window indicates method, not despair," says the defender, who relies on the sisters' testimony to indicate that the romanillas were not at the time of Canserbero's fall, "but someone put them back later, "he said.

While suffering from depression (although family members said that he was not suffering from any mental illness), he was asked by Carlos Molnar, bassist for Zion TPL, to stay with him.<ref>{{cite news|title=Muere el cantante de rap venezolano Canserbero|url=http://www.elpais.com.co/elpais/entretenimiento/noticias/muere-cantante-rap-venezolano-canserbero|accessdate=January 21, 2015|work=[[El País]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924051121/http://www.elpais.com.co/elpais/entretenimiento/noticias/muere-cantante-rap-venezolano-canserbero|archive-date=September 24, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Allegedly Canserbero stabbed Molnar to death and then jumped to his own death from the tenth floor of the building.<ref>{{cite news|title=AK Canserbero Dead: Rapper Tirone González Cause of Death Reportedly Suicide Following Alleged Murder of Zion TPL Bassist|url=http://www.latinpost.com/articles/32881/20150120/ak-canserbero-dead-rapper-tirone-gonz%C3%A1lez-cause-death-reportedly-suicide.htm|accessdate=January 21, 2015|work=Latin Post|date=January 20, 2015}}</ref> However, several members of his family have expressed several doubts regarding the police investigation.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.el-nacional.com/noticias/entretenimiento/dos-anos-muerte-canserbero_76580|title=A dos años de la muerte de Canserbero|last=Morales|first=María Alejandra|date=January 20, 2017|work=El Nacional|access-date=February 7, 2018|language=es|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180214164547/http://www.el-nacional.com/noticias/entretenimiento/dos-anos-muerte-canserbero_76580|archive-date=February 14, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

'''TLC''' (originally an initialism for '''The Learning Channel''') is an American [[pay television]] channel owned by [[Discovery, Inc.]] Initially focused on educational and learning content, by the late 1990s the network began to primarily focus towards [[Reality television|reality]] series involving [[Lifestyle (sociology)|lifestyle]]s, family life, and personal stories.

As of February 2015, TLC is available to watch in approximately 95 million American households (81.6% of households with cable television) in the [[United States]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/02/22/list-of-how-many-homes-each-cable-network-is-in-as-of-february-2015/366230/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150223220414/http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/02/22/list-of-how-many-homes-each-cable-network-is-in-as-of-february-2015/366230/|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 23, 2015| title= List of how many homes each cable network is in as of February 2015|last=Seidman|first=Robert|work=TV by the Numbers| publisher= Zap2it| date= February 22, 2015|access-date=March 14, 2015}}</ref>

==History==
===1972–1980: Early history===
The channel was founded in 1972 by the [[Department of Health, Education, and Welfare]] and [[NASA]] as the '''Appalachian Community Service Network''',<ref>"Learning Channel, The (Network)," in Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh, ''The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows, 1946–Present'', 9th ed. New York: Ballantine, 2007, ISBdfhfhu9780345497734, [https://books.google.com/books?id=BbOsChMSlpoC&pg=PA778&dq=Appalachian+Community+Service+Network&hl=en&sa=X&ei=DVjKT-z8OIXw2gX-zp3bCw&ved=0CHMQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=Appalachian%20Community%20Service%20Network&f=false p. 778].</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Laurence, Robert P.|date=August 15, 2005|title=Cable Guise: Channels built on arts, education and high culture now go low with cheesy programming|url=http://legacy.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/features/20050815-9999-1c15bravo.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060910183230/http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20050815/news_1c15bravo.html|archive-date=September 10, 2006|access-date=April 18, 2017|work=San Diego Union-Tribune}}</ref> and was an informative and instructional network focused on providing real education through the medium of television; it was distributed at no cost by NASA satellite.

===1980–1998: The Learning Channel, "A place for learning minds"===
ACSN was privatized in 1980, and its name was changed to '''The Learning Channel''' in November of that year; the name was subsequently shortened to "TLC."<ref name=Wells>Jane Wells, [https://www.cnbc.com/id/42451980 "When Did The Learning Channel Become The Leering Channel?,"] Funny Business, [[CNBC]], April 6, 2011</ref> (NASA immediately launched [[NASA TV]] as the ACSN's internal replacement.) The channel mostly featured documentary content pertaining to nature, science, history, current events, medicine, technology, cooking, home improvement, and other information-based topics. These are often agreed to have been more focused, more technical, and of a more academic nature than the content that was being broadcast at the time on its rival, The Discovery Channel. The channel was geared toward an inquisitive and narrow audience during this time, and had modest ratings except for the boating safety series ''Captain's Log'', produced and hosted by Mark Graves, a.k.a. Captain Mark Gray. ''Captain's Log'' aired weekly in primetime on TLC from 1987 to 1990. It achieved between a 4.5 to 6 share in the ratings and was the highest compensated series in the history of TLC with over 30 times the compensation of any other TLC series.{{Citation needed|date=March 2019}}

By the early 1990s, The Learning Channel was a sister channel to the [[Financial News Network]] (FNN), which owned 51 percent of the channel with Infotechnology Inc. After FNN went into bankruptcy in 1991, the [[Discovery Channel]]'s owners went into discussions to purchase The Learning Channel. An agreement was made with FNN and Infotech to buy their shares for $12.75 million (equivalent to ${{inflation|US|12.75|1991|r=2|fmt=c}} million today). The non-profit Appalachian Community Service Network owned 35 percent of the network, and was also bought out.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/04/02/business/the-media-business-discovery-to-buy-a-channel.html|title=Discovery to Buy a Channel|date=April 2, 1991|work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>

The Learning Channel continued to focus primarily on instructional and educational programming through much of the 1990s, but began to air shows less focused on education and themed more toward popular consumption and mass marketing; these would be later expanded.

TLC still aired educational programs such as ''[[Paleoworld]]'' (a show about prehistoric creatures), though more and more of its programming began to be devoted to niche audiences for shows regarding subjects like home improvement (''HomeTime'' and ''Home Savvy'' were two of the first), arts and crafts, crime programs such as ''[[The New Detectives]]'', medical programming (particularly reality-based shows following real patients through the process of operations), and other shows that appealed to daytime audiences, particularly housewives. This was to be indicative of a major change in programming content and target audience over the next few years.

===1998–2006: "Life Unscripted", new direction===
Perhaps due to poor ratings from a narrow target audience, TLC began to explore new avenues starting in the late 1990s, deemphasizing educational material in favor of entertainment.<ref name="Wells" /> "[[Ready Set Learn]]", the network's children's program block, was slowly reduced through the years as the network deliberately redirected viewers towards the full-day lineup of children's programming on [[Discovery Kids]]. The block was dropped completely in late 2008, and [[Cable in the Classroom]] programming, meant for recording by teachers, had completely disappeared by the early 2000s.

In 1998, the channel began to distance itself from its original name "The Learning Channel", and instead began to advertise itself only as "TLC". During this period, there was a huge shift in content, with most new programming being geared towards reality-drama and interior design shows. The huge success of shows like ''[[Trading Spaces]]'', ''[[Junkyard Wars]]'', ''A Wedding Story'', and ''[[A Baby Story]]'' exemplified this new shift in programming towards more mass-appeal shows.

This came at a time when Discovery itself was overhauling much of its own programming, introducing shows like ''[[American Chopper]]'' (which Discovery moved to TLC for a time). Much of the old, more educationally focused programming can still be found occasionally dispersed amongst other channels owned by Discovery Communications. Most of TLC's programming today is geared towards reality-based drama or interests such as home design, emergency room or medical dramas, extreme weather, law enforcement, dating, and human interest programs.

===2006–2008: "Live and learn", attempted turnaround===
On March 27, 2006, the network launched a new look and promotional campaign, dropping the "Life Unscripted" tag and introducing a new theme, "Live and learn", trying to turn around the network's reliance on [[interior design|decorating]] shows and [[Reality television|reality]] programming. As part of the new campaign, the channel's original name, "The Learning Channel", returned to occasional usage in promotions. The new theme also played on life lessons,{{clarify|this does not make sense. What life lessons, specifically? "Life lessons" is not a general theme without context|date=March 2019}} which featured heavily in the network's advertising and promotional clips. This campaign used humor to appeal to a target audience in their 30s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tlc-martin-agency-offer-life-lessons/article/73836|title=TLC, Martin Agency offer ‘life lessons’|website=Washington Examiner|access-date=2016-05-01}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://theinspirationroom.com/daily/2006/tlc-family-life-lessons/|title=TLC Life Lessons on Discovery Channel - The Inspiration Room|date=2006-05-07|website=The Inspiration Room|language=en-US|access-date=2016-05-01}}</ref>

===2008–present: Return to reality programming===
In early March 2008, TLC launched a slightly refreshed look and promotional campaign, alongside a new slogan: "Life surprises". This new slogan came as TLC began to shift even more to personal stories, and away from the once-dominating home improvement shows. Programs focused on family life became the core of the channel. ''[[Jon & Kate Plus 8]]'', which by 2008 was the highest-rated program on TLC,<ref name="highratings">{{cite web|url=http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2009/03/jon-and-kate-pl.html?iid=top25-%27Jon+%26+Kate+Plus+8%27+season+finale+scores+series-best+ratings/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090505182739/http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2009/03/jon-and-kate-pl.html?iid=top25-%27Jon+%26+Kate+Plus+8%27+season+finale+scores+series-best+ratings%2F|url-status = dead|archive-date=2009-05-05|access-date=2008-03-26|title='Jon & Kate Plus 8' season finale scores series-best ratings|first=Lynette|last=Rice|publisher=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|date=2009-03-25}}</ref> and ''[[Little People, Big World]]'' were joined by ''[[19 Kids and Counting|17 Kids and Counting]]'' (which became ''18 Kids and Counting'' and then ''19 Kids and Counting'' as [[Duggar family|the Duggars]], the family that the series centers on, expanded), and ''[[Table for 12]]'' in 2008 and 2009 respectively. The series ''[[Toddlers & Tiaras]]'' also debuted in 2008, and proved popular enough to spawn a spin-off in 2012, ''[[Here Comes Honey Boo Boo]]'', focusing on the family life of recurring contestant Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, which was canceled in 2014. Also premiering on TLC in 2009 was ''[[Cake Boss]]'', which focuses on the head baker at Carlo's Bakery and his staff, who mostly consist of his family.

In July 2014, TLC introduced a new slogan and promotional campaign, "Everyone Needs a Little TLC", which continued to build upon the network's current focus on personal stories and family life.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://deadline.com/2014/07/tlc-unveils-new-brand-campaign-and-tagline-808180/|title=TLC Unveils New Brand Campaign And Tagline|date=2014-07-22|work=Deadline|access-date=2018-04-20|language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2017, home design programming began to return to the network with the premiere of ''Nate & Jeremiah By Design''; the series was renewed for a second season.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://deadline.com/2017/08/nate-jeremiah-by-design-renewed-season-2-tlc-1202158683/|title=‘Nate & Jeremiah By Design’ Renewed For Season 2 By TLC|last=Petski|first=Denise|date=2017-08-30|work=Deadline|access-date=2018-04-20|language=en-US}}</ref> In April 2018, TLC premiered a revival of ''[[Trading Spaces]]'' (which accompanied the season 2 premiere of ''Nate & Jeremiah By Design''); the season premiere and an accompanying reunion special were seen by 2.8 million viewers, marking the network's highest-rated Saturday primetime program since 2010.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://deadline.com/2018/04/trading-spaces-return-record-ratings-tlc-1202363239/|title=‘Trading Spaces’ Return Scores Record Ratings For TLC|last=Petski|first=Denise|date=2018-04-12|work=Deadline|access-date=2018-04-16|language=en-US}}</ref>

In March 2018, Discovery Communications acquired [[Scripps Networks Interactive]], and was renamed Discovery, Inc. TLC president Nancy Daniels left the network to become the chief brand officer of Discovery's factual networks, to replace the outgoing [[Rich Ross]]. She was replaced by Scripps Networks' chief programmer Kathleen Finch as chief brand officer of Discovery's lifestyle networks, overseeing TLC and the six networks formerly owned by SNI (such as [[HGTV]] and [[Food Network]]), among others.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2018/03/discovery-scripps-executive-shakeup-rich-ross-out-kathleen-finch-1202307333/|title=Rich Ross Out at Discovery in Exec Shakeup; Scripps' Kathleen Finch Adds To Oversight|last=Hipes|first=Patrick|date=March 1, 2018|work=Deadline Hollywood|access-date=March 2, 2018}}</ref> In 2019, HGTV and TLC premiered a co-commissioned revival of another former TLC series, ''[[While You Were Out]]''; new episodes premiered on both networks simultaneously, with HGTV airing an alternate cut of the episode focusing more on the renovation process.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Littleton|first=Cynthia|date=2018-10-29|title=TLC and HGTV to Revive 'While You Were Out' as Crossover Series Tailored for Both Channels (EXCLUSIVE)|url=https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/while-you-were-out-hgtv-tlc-revival-1203006824/|access-date=2019-03-11|website=Variety|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=TLC, HGTV's crossover reboot "While You Were Out" gets March premiere date|url=http://realscreen.com/2019/02/07/tlc-hgtvs-crossover-reboot-while-you-were-out-gets-march-premiere-date/|access-date=2019-03-11|work=Realscreen}}</ref>

The Music Factory

Rodm23: /* TMF UK & Ireland */

{{refimprove|date=November 2018}}
[[Image:Tmf be.png|right|thumb|200px|Logo of the Flemish TMF channel]]
'''The Music Factory''' (TMF) was an originally Dutch [[Trademark|brand]] of television and radio channels operated focusing on [[pop music]]. It was similar to the American [[MTV]] which took over TMF in 2001.

TMF operated channels in the [[Netherlands]] (TMF Nederland) as well as in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] with [[TMF UK]] and [[Australia]] with ([[TMF Australia]]). The brand is owned by MTV Networks International (part of the [[Viacom (2005–present)|Viacom]] conglomerate). It shows only [[pop video]]s and locally produced live programming in Belgium and likewise with TMF Netherlands before its closure, the British TMF aired some of MTV's and VH1's programmes like ''[[MTV Cribs|Cribs]]'', ''[[Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica]]'', ''[[Hogan Knows Best]]'' and ''[[Run's House]]''.

The channel operated until 26 October 2009 in the UK and Ireland, 1 September 2011 in the Netherlands and 1 November 2015 in [[Belgium]]. The brand is owned by [[Viacom International Media Networks]], the international arm of [[Viacom (2005–present)|Viacom]].

==TMF Nederland==
[[Image:Tmficon.jpg|right|thumb|135px|Logo of TMF Nederland.]]
{{Main|TMF Nederland}}

TMF Nederland was launched on 1 May 1995 as the only local pop station in the Netherlands. It was founded by Lex Harding and the [[Arcade Records|Arcade]] company. The station gradually began to get better viewer figures than MTV,{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}} so in 2002, MTV bought shares in TMF. Since 1996 headquartered in [[Bussum]], the channel was notable for its dance music mixes. In 2005, three new channels, plus a radio station began broadcasting in the Netherlands under the TMF brand:

* '''[[TMF Dance]]''' - specialised in German, British, French, Belgian and Dutch [[trance music|trance]] and [[house music]]. Formerly known as "TMF Party".
* '''[[TMF NL]]''' - specialised in local Dutch music.
* '''[[TMF Pure]]''' - specialised in Soul, and [[R&B music]].
* '''[[HitRadio Veronica (Sky Radio)|TMF Hit Radio]]''' - Launched on 27 December 2006 and later dropped the TMF branding which soon after became 'Hit Radio'

On 1 September 2011, TMF Nederland ceased broadcasting in the Netherlands entirely, and on 31 December 2011 all digital channels ceased operations.

==TMF Flanders==
{{Main|TMF Flanders}}

TMF Flanders (TMF Vlaanderen) was the first international extension of the TMF brand, broadcast to viewers in the [[Belgium|Belgian]] region of [[Flanders]]. TMF Flanders first day on air was October 3, 1998. TMF Flanders was the first Flemish-specific channel that was dedicated to video clip broadcast. VJs at the beginning included Stijn Smets, Yasmine, Inge Moerenhout and Katja Retsin.

Williams stated in regards to praising the [[Universal Creative]] team and a few popular people for the new Florida park:

{{quote|Take, for example, Steven Spielberg. He was the creative consultant on our first [full] theme park, Universal Studios Florida.

Since 1987, Spielberg has consulted on a dozen attractions, included [[E.T. Adventure]], [[Jaws (ride)|Jaws]], [[Jurassic Park: The Ride]], and [[The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man]]. In exchange, he receives 2% of all park ticket revenue and a portion of park concession receipts generated by Universal theme parks in Florida, Japan, and Singapore in perpetuity, valued at up to $30 to 50 million a year; the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park in Los Angeles is not covered under the Spielberg deal.<ref name="BRG">{{cite web|last1=Glover|first1=Ronald|title=Spielberg's Biggest Blockbuster May Be $1 Billion Payday From Comcast|url=https://www.thestreet.com/story/13218752/1/spielbergs-biggest-blockbuster-may-be-1-billion-payday-from-comcast.html|publisher=Huffington Post|date=July 22, 2015}}</ref> The director also got the opportunity to trigger a June 2017 exit deal clause and collect a [[lump sum]] payment equal to the value of the contracts.

== History ==
=== Famous Players Film Company ===
{{Main|Famous Players Film Company}}

Paramount is the fifth oldest surviving film studio in the world after the French studios [[Gaumont Film Company]] (1895) and [[Pathé]] (1896), followed by the [[Nordisk Film]] company (1906), and [[Universal Pictures|Universal Studios]] (1912).<ref name="Abel10" /> It is the last [[major film studio]] still headquartered in the [[Hollywood]] district of [[Los Angeles]].

Paramount Pictures dates its existence from the 1912 founding date of the [[Famous Players Film Company]]. Hungarian-born founder [[Adolph Zukor]], who had been an early investor in [[nickelodeon movie theatre|nickelodeons]], saw that movies appealed mainly to working-class immigrants.<ref name="TIMWU2010">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iM6sos2U554C |title=The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires – Tim Wu – Google Books |date=November 2, 2010 |isbn=9780307594655 |access-date=June 17, 2015 |last1=Wu |first1=Tim |archive-date=March 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210309155658/https://books.google.com/books?id=iM6sos2U554C |url-status=live }}</ref> With partners [[Daniel Frohman]] and [[Charles Frohman]] he planned to offer feature-length films that would appeal to the middle class by featuring the leading theatrical players of the time (leading to the slogan "Famous Players in Famous Plays"). By mid-1913, Famous Players had completed five films, and Zukor was on his way to success. Its first film was ''[[Les Amours de la reine Élisabeth]]'', which starred [[Sarah Bernhardt]].

That same year, another aspiring producer, [[Jesse L. Lasky]], opened his Lasky Feature Play Company with money borrowed from his brother-in-law, Samuel Goldfish, later known as [[Samuel Goldwyn]]. The Lasky company hired as their first employee a stage director with virtually no film experience, [[Cecil B. DeMille]], who would find a suitable site in Hollywood, near Los Angeles, for his first feature film, ''[[The Squaw Man (1914 film)|The Squaw Man]]''.

[[File:Paramount logo 1914.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Paramount Pictures' first logo, based on a design by its co-founder [[William Wadsworth Hodkinson]], used from 1917 to 1967.]]

Starting in 1914, both Lasky and Famous Players released their films through a start-up company, Paramount Pictures Corporation, organized early that year by a Utah theatre owner, [[W. W. Hodkinson]], who had bought and merged several smaller firms. Hodkinson and actor, director, producer [[Hobart Bosworth]] had started production of a series of [[Jack London]] movies. Paramount was the first successful nationwide distributor; until this time, films were sold on a statewide or regional basis which had proved costly to film producers. Also, Famous Players and Lasky were privately owned while Paramount was a corporation.

=== Famous Players-Lasky ===
{{Main|Famous Players-Lasky}}
[[File:Spanish Paramount logo (Distribuida Pela Paramount), circa 1929.ogv|thumb|The logo, with Portuguese captions: ''Distribuida Pela Paramount''.]]
In 1916, Zukor maneuvered a three-way merger of his Famous Players, the Lasky Company, and Paramount. Zukor and Lasky bought Hodkinson out of Paramount, and merged the three companies into one. The new company Lasky and Zukor founded, '''[[Famous Players-Lasky]] Corporation''', grew quickly, with Lasky and his partners Goldwyn and DeMille running the production side, Hiram Abrams in charge of distribution, and Zukor making great plans. With only the exhibitor-owned [[First National Pictures|First National]] as a rival, Famous Players-Lasky and its "Paramount Pictures" soon dominated the business.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/lasky-company-merges-with-famous-players-later-to-become-paramount|title=Lasky Company merges with Famous Players, later to become Paramount – Jun 28, 1916 – HISTORY.com|work=HISTORY.com|access-date=August 10, 2017|archive-date=August 10, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170810170251/http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/lasky-company-merges-with-famous-players-later-to-become-paramount|url-status=live}}</ref>

[[File:GrangeLasky-DeMille1913.jpg|thumb|left| Lasky's original studio (a.k.a. "The Barn") as it appeared in the mid 1920s. The Taft building, built in 1923, is visible in the background.]]
Because Zukor believed in stars, he signed and developed many of the leading early stars, including [[Mary Pickford]], [[Marguerite Clark]], [[Pauline Frederick]], [[Douglas Fairbanks]], [[Gloria Swanson]], [[Rudolph Valentino]], and [[Wallace Reid]]. With so many important players, Paramount was able to introduce "[[block booking]]", which meant that an exhibitor who wanted a particular star's films had to buy a year's worth of other Paramount productions. It was this system that gave Paramount a leading position in the 1920s and 1930s, but which led the government to pursue it on [[antitrust]] grounds for more than twenty years.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cobbles.com/simpp_archive/ftc-case_into.htm|title=The Famous Players-Lasky Antitrust Case|website=www.cobbles.com|access-date=August 10, 2017|archive-date=August 6, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806062645/http://www.cobbles.com/simpp_archive/ftc-case_into.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>

The driving force behind Paramount's rise was Zukor. Through the teens and twenties, he built the '''Publix Theatres Corporation''', a chain of nearly 2,000 screens, ran two production studios (in [[Astoria, New York]], now the [[Kaufman Astoria Studios]], and [[Hollywood, California]]), and became an early investor in radio, taking a 50% interest in the new [[CBS|Columbia Broadcasting System]] in 1928 (selling it within a few years; this would not be the last time Paramount and CBS crossed paths).

In 1926, Zukor hired independent producer [[B. P. Schulberg]], an unerring eye for new talent, to run the new West Coast operations. They purchased the Robert Brunton Studios, a 26-acre facility at 5451 Marathon Street for US$1 million.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.paramount.com/node/7664 |title=1926: THE NEW STUDIO | Paramount Pictures |publisher=Paramount.com |access-date=October 28, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111114001735/http://www.paramount.com/node/7664 |archive-date=November 14, 2011 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> In 1927, Famous Players-Lasky took the name '''Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation'''. Three years later, because of the importance of the Publix Theatres, it became '''Paramount Publix Corporation'''.

In 1928, Paramount began releasing ''[[Inkwell Imps]],'' animated cartoons produced by [[Max Fleischer|Max]] and [[Dave Fleischer]]'s [[Fleischer Studios]] in New York City. The Fleischers, veterans in the animation industry, were among the few animation producers capable of challenging the prominence of [[Walt Disney]]. The Paramount newsreel series [[Paramount News]] ran from 1927 to 1957. Paramount was also one of the first Hollywood studios to release what were known at that time as "[[sound film|talkies]]", and in 1929, released their first musical, ''[[Innocents of Paris]]''. [[Richard A. Whiting]] and [[Leo Robin]] composed the score for the film; [[Maurice Chevalier]] starred and sung the most famous song from the film, "[[Louise (Maurice Chevalier song)|Louise]]".

==== Publix, Balaban and Katz, Loew's competition and wonder theaters ====
[[File:Publix theatre Indiana Repertory Theatre.jpg|thumb|right|Detail of Publix Theatre logo on what is now [[Indiana Repertory Theatre]].]]

By acquiring the successful [[Balaban & Katz]] chain in 1926, Zukor gained the services of [[Barney Balaban]] (who would eventually become Paramount's president in 1936), his brother [[A. J. Balaban]] (who would eventually supervise all stage production nationwide and produce talkie shorts), and their partner Sam Katz (who would run the Paramount-Publix theatre chain in New York City from the thirty-five-story Paramount Theatre Building on [[Times Square]]).

Balaban and Katz had developed the Wonder Theater concept, first publicized around 1918 in Chicago. The Chicago Theater was created as a very ornate theater and advertised as a "wonder theater." When Publix acquired Balaban, they embarked on a project to expand the wonder theaters, and starting building in New York in 1927. While Balaban and Public were dominant in Chicago, [[Loew's]] was the big player in New York, and did not want the Publix theaters to overshadow theirs. The two companies brokered a non-competition deal for New York and Chicago, and Loew's took over the New York area projects, developing five [[Loew's Wonder Theaters|wonder theaters]]. Publix continued Balaban's wonder theater development in its home area.<ref>{{cite news |title=The Kings Is Dead!

=== 1920s and 1931–40: Receivership ===
Eventually, Zukor shed most of his early partners; the Frohman brothers, Hodkinson and Goldwyn were out by 1917 while Lasky hung on until 1932, when, blamed for the near-collapse of Paramount in the [[Great Depression|Depression]] years, he too was tossed out. Zukor's over-expansion and use of overvalued Paramount stock for purchases led the company into receivership in 1933. A bank-mandated reorganization team, led by [[John D. Hertz|John Hertz]] and [[Otto Kahn]] kept the company intact, and, miraculously, Zukor was kept on. In 1935, Paramount-Publix went bankrupt. In June 1935 [[John E. Otterson]]<ref>Eileen S. Quigley. ''International Motion Picture Almanac,'' 1938. p. 581.</ref> and in 1936 [[Barney Balaban]] became president, and Zukor was bumped up to chairman of the board. In this role, Zukor reorganized the company as '''Paramount Pictures, Inc.''' and was able to successfully bring the studio out of bankruptcy.

As always, Paramount films continued to emphasize stars; in the 1920s there were [[Gloria Swanson]], [[Wallace Reid]], [[Rudolph Valentino]], [[Florence Vidor]], [[Thomas Meighan]], [[Pola Negri]], [[Bebe Daniels]], [[Antonio Moreno]], [[Richard Dix]], [[Esther Ralston]], [[Emil Jannings]], [[George Bancroft (actor)|George Bancroft]], [[Betty Compson]], [[Clara Bow]], [[Adolphe Menjou]], and [[Charles Buddy Rogers]]. By the late 1920s and the early 1930s, talkies brought in a range of powerful draws: [[Richard Arlen]], [[Nancy Carroll]], [[Maurice Chevalier]], [[Gary Cooper]], [[Marlene Dietrich]], [[Charles Ruggles]], [[Ruth Chatterton]], [[William Powell]], [[Mae West]], [[Sylvia Sidney]], [[Bing Crosby]], [[Claudette Colbert]], the [[Marx Brothers]], [[W.C. Fields]], [[Fredric March]], [[Jack Oakie]], [[Jeanette MacDonald]] (whose first two films were shot at Paramount's [[Astoria, New York]], studio), [[Carole Lombard]], [[George Raft]], [[Miriam Hopkins]], [[Cary Grant]] and [[Stuart Erwin]], among them.<ref>{{cite book |last=Eames |first=John Douglas |title=The Paramount story |year=1985 |publisher=Crown |location=New York |isbn=0-517-55348-1 |page=37 |edition=[1st ed.].}}</ref> In this period Paramount can truly be described as a movie factory, turning out sixty to seventy pictures a year. Such were the benefits of having a huge theater chain to fill, and of block booking to persuade other chains to go along. In 1933, [[Mae West]] would also add greatly to Paramount's success with her suggestive movies ''[[She Done Him Wrong]]'' and ''[[I'm No Angel]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.filmsite.org/shed.html |title=Filmsite.org |publisher=Filmsite.org |access-date=January 7, 2010 |archive-date=July 23, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100723214011/http://www.filmsite.org/shed.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.filmsite.org/imno.html |title=Filmsite.org |publisher=Filmsite.org |access-date=January 7, 2010 |archive-date=January 25, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100125082721/http://www.filmsite.org/imno.html |url-status=live }}</ref> However, the sex appeal West gave in these movies would also lead to the enforcement of the [[Production Code]], as the newly formed organization the [[Catholic Legion of Decency]] threatened a boycott if it was not enforced.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mae-west.org/old/mw.bio.html |title=Mae-West.org |publisher=Mae-West.org |access-date=January 7, 2010 |archive-date=February 18, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090218214412/http://mae-west.org/old/mw.bio.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Paramount cartoons produced by Fleischer Studios continued to be successful, with [[Character (arts)|characters]] such as [[Betty Boop]] and [[Popeye the Sailor]] becoming widely successful. One Fleischer series, ''[[Screen Songs]]'', featured live-action music stars under contract to Paramount hosting sing-alongs of popular songs. The animation studio would rebound with [[Popeye]], and in 1935, polls showed that Popeye was even more popular than [[Mickey Mouse]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://forums.goldenagecartoons.com/showthread.php?t=2907 |title=Forums.GoldenAgeCartoons.com |publisher=Forums.GoldenAgeCartoons.com |access-date=January 7, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711104313/http://forums.goldenagecartoons.com/showthread.php?t=2907 |archive-date=July 11, 2011 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> After an unsuccessful expansion into feature films, as well as the fact that Max and Dave Fleischer were no longer speaking to one another, Fleischer Studios was acquired by Paramount, which renamed the operation [[Famous Studios]]. That incarnation of the animation studio continued cartoon production until 1967, but has been historically dismissed as having largely failed to maintain the artistic acclaim the Fleischer brothers achieved under their management.<ref>{{cite book |last=Maltin |first=Leonard |title=Of Mice and Magic |year=1987 |orig-year=1980 |publisher=Plume |location=New York |page=311}}</ref>

=== 1941–50: ''United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc.'' ===
In 1940, Paramount agreed to a government-instituted consent decree: block booking and "pre-selling" (the practice of collecting up-front money for films not yet in production) would end. Immediately, Paramount cut back on production, from 71 films to a more modest 19 annually in the war years.<ref>{{cite book |last=Eames |first=John Douglas |title=The Paramount Story |year=1985 |publisher=Crown Publishers, Inc |location=New York |isbn=0-517-55348-1 |page=115}}</ref> Still, with more new stars like [[Bob Hope]], [[Alan Ladd]], [[Veronica Lake]], [[Paulette Goddard]], and [[Betty Hutton]], and with war-time attendance at astronomical numbers, Paramount and the other integrated studio-theatre combines made more money than ever. At this, the [[Federal Trade Commission]] and the [[United States Department of Justice|Justice Department]] decided to reopen their case against the five integrated studios. Paramount also had a monopoly over [[Detroit]] movie theaters through subsidiary company United Detroit Theaters.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cobbles.com/simpp_archive/united-detroit_paramount-history.htm |series=SIMPP v. Paramount Theatres |title=The Paramount Theater Monopoly: The History of United Detroit Theaters |publisher=Cobbles.com |access-date=January 7, 2010 |archive-date=October 31, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061031065238/http://www.cobbles.com/simpp_archive/united-detroit_paramount-history.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> This led to the [[Supreme Court of the United States|Supreme Court]] decision ''[[United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc.]]'' (1948) holding that movie studios could not also own movie theater chains. This decision broke up Adolph Zukor's creation, with the theater chain being split into a new company, [[United Paramount Theaters]], and effectively brought an end to the classic Hollywood [[studio system]].

=== 1951–66: Split and after ===
With the separation of production and exhibition forced by the U.S. Supreme Court, Paramount Pictures Inc. was split in two.<ref name="Nelmes">{{cite book |last=Nelmes |first=Jill |title=An Introduction to Film Studies |publisher=Routledge |year=2003 |edition=3 |page=16 |isbn=0-415-26268-2}}</ref> Paramount Pictures Corporation was formed to be the production distribution company, with the 1,500-screen theater chain handed to the new [[United Paramount Theaters]] on December 31, 1949. [[Leonard Goldenson]], who had headed the chain since 1938, remained as the new company's president. The Balaban and Katz theatre division was spun off with UPT; its trademark eventually became the property of the Balaban and Katz Historical Foundation. The Foundation has recently acquired ownership of the Famous Players Trademark. Cash-rich and controlling prime downtown real estate, Goldenson began looking for investments. Barred from film-making by prior antitrust rulings, he acquired the struggling [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] television network in February 1953, leading it first to financial health, and eventually, in the mid-1970s, to first place in the national Nielsen ratings, before selling out to [[Capital Cities Communications|Capital Cities]] in 1985 (Capital Cities would eventually sell out, in turn, to [[The Walt Disney Company]] in 1996). United Paramount Theaters was renamed ABC Theaters in 1965 and was sold to businessman Henry Plitt in 1977. The movie theater chain was renamed Plitt Theaters. In 1985, [[Cineplex Odeon Corporation]] merged with Plitt. In later years, Paramount's TV division would develop a strong relationship with ABC, providing many hit series to the network.

==== The DuMont Network ====
Paramount Pictures had been an early backer of television, launching experimental stations in 1939 in Los Angeles and Chicago. The Los Angeles station eventually became [[KTLA]], the first commercial station on the West Coast. The Chicago station got a commercial license as WBKB in 1943, but was sold to UPT along with Balaban & Katz in 1948 and was eventually resold to CBS as [[WBBM-TV]].

In 1938, Paramount bought a stake in television manufacturer [[DuMont Laboratories]]. Through this stake, it became a minority owner of the [[DuMont Television Network]].<ref name="Hess1">{{cite book |last=Hess |first=Gary Newton |title=An Historical Study of the DuMont Television Network |publisher=Arno Press |location=New York |year=1979 |page=91 |isbn=0-405-11758-2}}</ref> Also Paramount launched its own network, [[Paramount Television Network]], in 1948 through its television unit, Television Productions, Inc.<ref name="Schatz">{{cite book |last=Schatz |first=Thomas |title=Boom and Bust: American Cinema in the 1940s |publisher=University of California Press |year=1999 |page=433 |isbn=0-520-22130-3}}</ref>

Paramount management planned to acquire additional [[owned-and-operated station]]s ("O&Os"); the company applied to the FCC for additional stations in San Francisco, Detroit, and Boston.<ref name="Browne">{{cite book|last=Browne|first=Nick|title=American Television: New Directions in History and Theory|publisher=Routledge|year=1994|page=32|isbn=3-7186-0563-5|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yuU72DJI97UC&q=%22Paramount%20Pictures%22%2B%22FCC%22%2B%22San%20Francisco%22&pg=PA32|access-date=April 9, 2010|archive-date=January 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125224023/https://books.google.com/books?id=yuU72DJI97UC&q=%22Paramount%20Pictures%22%2B%22FCC%22%2B%22San%20Francisco%22&pg=PA32|url-status=live}}</ref> The FCC, however, denied Paramount's applications. A few years earlier, the federal regulator had placed a five-station cap on all television networks: no network was allowed to own more than five [[VHF]] television stations. Paramount was hampered by its minority stake in the DuMont Television Network. Although both DuMont and Paramount executives stated that the companies were separate, the FCC ruled that Paramount's partial ownership of DuMont meant that DuMont and Paramount were in theory branches of the same company. Since DuMont owned three television stations and Paramount owned two, the federal agency ruled neither network could acquire additional television stations. The FCC requested that Paramount relinquish its stake in DuMont, but Paramount refused.<ref name="Browne" /> According to television historian William Boddy, "Paramount's checkered antitrust history" helped convince the FCC that Paramount controlled DuMont.<ref name="Boddy">{{cite book|last=Boddy|first=William|title=Fifties Television: the Industry and Its Critics|publisher=University of Illinois Press|year=1992|page=56|isbn=0-252-06299-X}}</ref> Both DuMont and Paramount Television Network suffered as a result, with neither company able to acquire five O&Os. Meanwhile, CBS, ABC, and NBC had each acquired the maximum of five stations by the mid-1950s.<ref name="BrooksandMarsh">{{cite book|last1=Brooks|first1=Tim|last2=Marsh|first2=Earle|title=The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows, 1946–present|publisher=Ballantine|location=New York|year=2007|edition=9th|page=xiii|isbn=978-0-345-49773-4}}</ref>

When ABC accepted a merger offer from UPT in 1953, DuMont quickly realized that ABC now had more resources than it could possibly hope to match. It quickly reached an agreement in principle to merge with ABC.<ref name="Bergmann5">Bergmann, Ted; Skutch, Ira (2002). ''The DuMont Television Network: What Happened?'', pp. 79-83.

Larry Dean's R-VCR Television Production website. Retrieved December 28, 2006.</ref> For all intents and purposes, this was the end of DuMont, though it lingered on until 1956.

In 1951, Paramount bought a stake in [[Telemeter (pay television)|International Telemeter]], an experimental pay TV service which operated with a coin inserted into a box. The service began operating in Palm Springs, California on November 27, 1953, but due to pressure from the FCC, the service ended on May 15, 1954.<ref>{{cite web |title=Telemeter: Coin Operated TV |url=http://www.tvobscurities.com/articles/cointv/ |publisher=TVObscurities.com |access-date=June 9, 2012 |archive-date=July 22, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120722103506/http://www.tvobscurities.com/articles/cointv/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

With the loss of the theater chain, Paramount Pictures went into a decline, cutting studio-backed production, releasing its contract players, and making production deals with independents. By the mid-1950s, all the great names were gone; only [[Cecil B. DeMille]], associated with Paramount since 1913, kept making pictures in the grand old style. Despite Paramount's losses, DeMille would, however, give the studio some relief and create his most successful film at Paramount, a 1956 [[The Ten Commandments (1956 film)|remake]] of his 1923 film ''[[The Ten Commandments (1923 film)|The Ten Commandments]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.filmsite.org/tenc.html |title=Filmsite.org |publisher=Filmsite.org |access-date=January 7, 2010 |archive-date=January 10, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100110055701/http://www.filmsite.org/tenc.html |url-status=live }}</ref> DeMille died in 1959. Like some other studios, Paramount saw little value in its film library, and sold 764 of its pre-1950 films to [[MCA Inc.]]/[[EMKA, Ltd.]] (known today as [[Universal Television]]) in February 1958.<ref>McDougal, Dennis (2001).

=== 1966–70: Early Gulf+Western era ===

By the early 1960s, Paramount's future was doubtful. The high-risk movie business was wobbly; the theater chain was long gone; investments in DuMont and in early pay-television came to nothing; and the Golden Age of Hollywood had just ended, even the flagship Paramount building in Times Square was sold to raise cash, as was KTLA (sold to [[Gene Autry]] in 1964 for a then-phenomenal $12.5 million). Their only remaining successful property at that point was [[Dot Records]], which Paramount had acquired in 1957, and even its profits started declining by the middle of the 1960s.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bsnpubs.com/dot/dotstoryc.html |title=Dot Records Story, Part 3 |publisher=BSNpubs.com |date=November 10, 1999 |access-date=February 14, 2016 |archive-date=May 4, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170504015437/http://www.bsnpubs.com/dot/dotstoryc.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Founding father Adolph Zukor (born in 1873) was still chairman emeritus; he referred to chairman Barney Balaban (born 1888) as "the boy." Such aged leadership was incapable of keeping up with the changing times, and in 1966, a sinking Paramount was sold to [[Charles Bluhdorn]]'s industrial conglomerate, [[Gulf and Western Industries|Gulf + Western Industries Corporation]]. Bluhdorn immediately put his stamp on the studio, installing a virtually unknown producer named [[Robert Evans]] as head of production. Despite some rough times, Evans held the job for eight years, restoring Paramount's reputation for commercial success with ''[[The Odd Couple (film)|The Odd Couple]]'', ''[[Rosemary's Baby (film)|Rosemary's Baby]]'', ''[[Love Story (1970 film)|Love Story]]'', ''[[The Godfather]]'', ''[[Chinatown (1974 film)|Chinatown]]'', and ''[[3 Days of the Condor]]''.<ref>{{cite book |last=Evans |first=Robert |title=The kid stays in the picture |year=2006 |publisher=Phoenix Books |location=Beverly Hills, Calif. |isbn=1-59777-525-8 |pages=xii |edition=1st New Millennium printing. |url=https://archive.org/details/kidstaysinpictu00evan |url-access=registration }}</ref>

Gulf + Western Industries also bought the neighboring [[Desilu Productions|Desilu]] television studio (once the lot of [[RKO Pictures]]) from [[Lucille Ball]] in 1967. Using some of Desilu's established shows such as ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'', ''[[Mission: Impossible (1966 TV series)|Mission: Impossible]]'', and ''[[Mannix]]'' as a foot in the door at the networks, the newly reincorporated [[Paramount Television]] eventually became known as a specialist in half-hour situation comedies.<ref>{{cite book |last=Dick |first=Bernard F. |title=Engulfed : the death of Paramount Pictures and the birth of corporate Hollywood |year=2001 |publisher=Univ. Press of Kentucky |location=Lexington, Ky. |isbn=0-8131-2202-3}}</ref>

In 1968, Paramount formed Films Distributing Corp to distribute sensitive film product, including ''Sin With a Stranger'', which was one of the first films to receive an [[X rating]] in the United States when the [[MPAA]] introduced their new [[Motion Picture Association of America film rating system|rating system]].<ref>{{cite news|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Daily Variety]]|first=A.D.|last=Murphy|title=Coding Old Pix New Wrinkle|date=November 20, 1968|page=1}}</ref>

=== 1971–80: CIC formation and high-concept era ===
In 1970, Paramount teamed with [[Universal Pictures|Universal Studios]] to form [[Cinema International Corporation]], a new company that would distribute films by the two studios outside the United States. [[Metro–Goldwyn–Mayer|Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] would become a partner in the mid-1970s. Both Paramount and CIC entered the video market with Paramount Home Video (now [[Paramount Home Media Distribution|Paramount Home Entertainment]]) and [[CIC Video]], respectively.

Robert Evans abandoned his position as head of production in 1974; his successor, [[Richard Sylbert]], proved to be too literary and too tasteful for Gulf + Western's Bluhdorn. By 1976, a new, television-trained team was in place headed by [[Barry Diller]] and his "Killer-Dillers", as they were called by admirers or "Dillettes" as they were called by detractors. These associates, made up of [[Michael Eisner]], [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]], [[Dawn Steel]] and [[Don Simpson]] would each go on and head up major movie studios of their own later in their careers.

The Paramount specialty was now simpler. "[[High concept]]" pictures such as ''[[Saturday Night Fever]]'' and ''[[Grease (film)|Grease]]'' hit big, hit hard and hit fast all over the world,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.filmsite.org/80sintro.html |title=Film History of the 1980s |publisher=Filmsite.org |date=September 8, 1986 |access-date=August 8, 2015 |archive-date=August 23, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150823050646/http://www.filmsite.org/80sintro.html |url-status=live }}</ref> and Diller's television background led him to propose one of his longest-standing ideas to the board: [[Paramount Television Service]], a [[Fourth television network|fourth commercial network]]. Paramount Pictures purchased the [[Hughes Television Network]] (HTN) including its satellite time in planning for PTVS in 1976. Paramount sold HTN to Madison Square Garden in 1979.<ref name=ap>{{cite news |title=Cohen Buys Hughes TV Network for 3rd Time |url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-74495632.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130117060244/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-74495632.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 17, 2013 |access-date=May 30, 2012 |agency=Associated Press |date=June 9, 2003}}</ref> But Diller believed strongly in the concept, and so took his fourth-network idea with him when he moved to [[20th Century Fox]] in 1984, where Fox's then freshly installed proprietor, [[Rupert Murdoch]] was a more interested listener.

However, the television division would be playing catch-up for over a decade after Diller's departure in 1984 before launching its own television network – [[UPN]] – in 1995. Lasting eleven years before being merged with [[The WB]] network to become [[The CW]] in 2006, UPN would feature many of the shows it originally produced for other networks, and would take numerous gambles on series such as ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' that would have otherwise either gone direct-to-cable or become [[Broadcast syndication|first-run syndication]] to independent stations across the country (as ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' were).

Paramount Pictures was not connected to either [[Paramount Records]] (1910s-1935) or [[ABC Records|ABC-Paramount Records]] (1955–66) until it purchased the rights to use the name (but not the latter's catalog) in the late 1960s. The [[Paramount Records (1969)|Paramount]] name was used for soundtrack albums and some pop re-issues from the [[Dot Records]] catalog which Paramount had acquired in 1957. By 1970, Dot had become an all-country label<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bsnpubs.com/dot/paramount.html |title=Paramount Album Discography |publisher=BSNpubs.com |date=April 16, 2000 |access-date=January 7, 2010 |archive-date=January 13, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100113165140/http://bsnpubs.com/dot/paramount.html |url-status=live }}</ref> and in 1974, Paramount sold all of its record holdings to [[ABC Records]], which in turn was sold to [[MCA Inc.|MCA]] (now [[Universal Music Group]]) in 1979.<ref>{{Cite book |isbn = 1471611868|title = Elton John|last1 = Hombach|first1 = Jean-Pierre|year = 1987}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |isbn = 1471632903|title = Whitney Houston - Bobby Brown the Truth|last1 = Hombach|first1 = Jean-Pierre}}</ref>

=== 1980–94: Continual success ===
Paramount's successful run of pictures extended into the 1980s and 1990s, generating hits like ''[[Airplane!]]'', ''[[American Gigolo]]'', ''[[Ordinary People]]'', ''[[An Officer and a Gentleman]]'', ''[[Flashdance]]'', ''[[Terms of Endearment]]'', ''[[Footloose (1984 film)|Footloose]]'', ''[[Pretty in Pink]]'', ''[[Top Gun]]'', ''[[Crocodile Dundee]]'', ''[[Fatal Attraction]]'', ''[[Ghost (1990 film)|Ghost]]'', the ''[[Friday the 13th (1980 film)|Friday the 13th]]'' [[slasher film|slasher]] series, as well as teaming up with [[Lucasfilm]] to create the [[Indiana Jones (franchise)|''Indiana Jones'' franchise]]. Other examples are the ''[[Star Trek]]'' film series and a string of films starring comedian [[Eddie Murphy]] like ''[[Trading Places]]'', ''[[Coming to America]]'' and ''[[Beverly Hills Cop]]'' and its [[sequel]]s. While the emphasis was decidedly on the commercial, there were occasional less commercial but more artistic and intellectual efforts like ''[[I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can]]'', ''[[Atlantic City (1980 film)|Atlantic City]]'', ''[[Reds (film)|Reds]]'', ''[[Witness (1985 film)|Witness]]'', ''[[Children of a Lesser God (film)|Children of a Lesser God]]'' and ''[[The Accused (1988 film)|The Accused]]''. During this period, responsibility for running the studio passed from Eisner and Katzenberg to [[Frank Mancuso, Sr.]] (1984) and [[Ned Tanen]] (1984) to [[Stanley R. Jaffe]] (1991) and [[Sherry Lansing]] (1992). More so than most, Paramount's slate of films included many remakes and television [[Spin-off (media)|spin-offs]]; while sometimes commercially successful, there have been few compelling films of the kind that once made Paramount the industry leader.

On August 25, 1983, Paramount Studios caught fire. Two or three sound stages and four outdoor sets were destroyed.<ref>{{cite news |title=Fire destroys sets, stages at Paramount |date=August 26, 1983 |page=18 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=9S8aAAAAIBAJ&dq=paramount%20fire%20cheers%20star-trek&pg=6670%2C8783024 |newspaper=[[Times-News (Hendersonville, North Carolina)|Times-News]] |location=Hendersonville, North Carolina |access-date=August 17, 2012 |agency=[[Associated Press]] |author=John Antczak |archive-date=January 4, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210104041944/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=9S8aAAAAIBAJ&dq=paramount%20fire%20cheers%20star-trek&pg=6670%2C8783024 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Fire destroys Paramount sound stages |date=August 26, 1983 |page=8 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=CJszAAAAIBAJ&dq=paramount%20studios%20fire%20cheers%20star-trek&pg=3449%2C6550609 |agency=[[United Press International]] |newspaper=[[Lodi News-Sentinel]] |location=Lodi, California |access-date=August 17, 2012 |archive-date=March 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210309155659/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=CJszAAAAIBAJ&dq=paramount+studios+fire+cheers+star-trek&pg=3449%2C6550609 |url-status=live }}</ref>

When Charles Bluhdorn died unexpectedly, his successor Martin Davis dumped all of G+W's industrial, mining, and sugar-growing subsidiaries and refocused the company, renaming it Paramount Communications in 1989. With the influx of cash from the sale of G+W's industrial properties in the mid-1980s, Paramount bought a string of television stations and [[KECO Entertainment]]'s theme park operations, renaming them [[Paramount Parks]]. These parks included [[California's Great America|Paramount's Great America]], [[Canada's Wonderland|Paramount Canada's Wonderland]], [[Carowinds|Paramount's Carowinds]], [[Kings Dominion|Paramount's Kings Dominion]], and [[Kings Island|Paramount's Kings Island]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.visitkingsisland.com/media-center/park-history |title=Park History | Kings Island, Mason OH |publisher=Visitkingsisland.com |access-date=August 8, 2015 |archive-date=September 5, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905170551/https://www.visitkingsisland.com/media-center/park-history |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 1993, [[Sumner Redstone]]'s entertainment conglomerate [[Viacom (1971–2005)|Viacom]] made a bid for a merger with Paramount Communications; this quickly escalated into a bidding war with [[Barry Diller]]'s [[QVC]]. But Viacom prevailed, ultimately paying $10 billion for the Paramount holdings.

Paramount is the last major film studio located in Hollywood proper. When Paramount moved to its present home in 1927, it was in the heart of the film community. Since then, former next-door neighbor [[RKO Pictures|RKO]] closed up shop in 1957 (Paramount ultimately absorbed their former lot); [[Warner Bros.]] (whose old Sunset Boulevard studio was sold to Paramount in 1949 as a home for [[KTLA]]) moved to [[Burbank, Los Angeles County, California|Burbank]] in 1930; [[Columbia Pictures|Columbia]] joined Warners in Burbank in 1973 then moved again to [[Culver City, California|Culver City]] in 1989; and the Pickford-Fairbanks-Goldwyn-United Artists lot, after a lively history, has been turned into a [[post-production]] and music-scoring facility for Warners, known simply as "The Lot". For a time the semi-industrial neighborhood around Paramount was in decline, but has now come back. The recently refurbished studio has come to symbolize Hollywood for many visitors, and its studio tour is a popular attraction.

In 1983, Gulf and Western began a restructuring process that would transform the corporation from a bloated conglomerate consisting of subsidiaries from unrelated industries to a more focused entertainment and publishing company. The idea was to aid financial markets in measuring the company's success, which, in turn, would help place better value on its shares. Though its Paramount division did very well in recent years, Gulf and Western's success as a whole was translating poorly with investors. This process eventually led Davis to divest many of the company's subsidiaries. Its sugar plantations in Florida and the Dominican Republic were sold in 1985; the consumer and industrial products branch was sold off that same year.<ref name = "lbm" /> In 1989, Davis renamed the company Paramount Communications Incorporated after its primary asset, Paramount Pictures.<ref name="restructure">{{cite news|url=https://articles.latimes.com/1989-04-10/business/fi-1718_1_paramount-s-parent-plans-values-publishing-businesses|title=Gulf & Western Wants Buyer for Finance Division : Paramount's Parent Plans to Change Name, Focus on Entertainment, Publishing|last=Williams|first=Linda|date=April 10, 1989|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|access-date=May 21, 2012|archive-date=June 26, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130626205936/http://articles.latimes.com/1989-04-10/business/fi-1718_1_paramount-s-parent-plans-values-publishing-businesses|url-status=live}}</ref> In addition to the Paramount film, television, home video, and music publishing divisions, the company continued to own the Madison Square Garden properties (which also included [[MSG (TV network)|MSG Network]]), a 50% stake in [[USA Network]]s (the other 50% was owned by [[MCA Inc.|MCA]]/[[Universal Studios]]) and Simon & Schuster, [[Prentice Hall]], [[Pocket Books]], [[Allyn & Bacon]], Cineamerica (a joint venture with [[Warner Communications]]), and Canadian cinema chain [[Famous Players Theatres]].<ref name = "lbm">Prince, Stephen (2000) ''A New Pot of Gold: Hollywood Under the Electronic Rainbow, 1980–1989'' (p. 60-65).

That same year, the company launched a $12.2 billion hostile bid to acquire [[Time Inc.]] in an attempt to end a stock-swap merger deal between Time and Warner Communications. This caused Time to raise its bid for Warner to $14.9 billion in cash and stock. Gulf and Western responded by filing a lawsuit in a Delaware court to block the Time-Warner merger. The court ruled twice in favor of Time, forcing Gulf and Western to drop both the Time acquisition and the lawsuit, and allowing the formation of [[Time Warner]].

Paramount used cash acquired from the sale of Gulf and Western's non-entertainment properties to take over the [[TVX Broadcast Group]] chain of television stations (which at that point consisted mainly of large-market stations which TVX had bought from [[Taft Broadcasting]], plus two mid-market stations which TVX owned prior to the Taft purchase), and the [[KECO Entertainment]] chain of theme parks from Taft successor Great American Broadcasting. Both of these companies had their names changed to reflect new ownership: TVX became known as the [[Paramount Stations Group]], while KECO was renamed to [[Paramount Parks]].

Paramount Television launched Wilshire Court Productions in conjunction with USA Networks, before the latter was renamed [[NBCUniversal Cable]], in 1989. Wilshire Court Productions (named for a side street in Los Angeles) produced [[television film]]s that aired on the USA Networks, and later for other networks. USA Networks launched a second channel, the Sci-Fi Channel (now known as [[Syfy]]), in 1992. As its name implied, it focused on films and television series within the science fiction genre. Much of the initial programming was owned either by Paramount or Universal. Paramount bought one more television station in 1993: [[Cox Enterprises]]' [[WKBD-TV]] in Detroit, Michigan, at the time an affiliate of the [[Fox Broadcasting Company]].

=== 1994–2005: Dolgen/Lansing and "old" Viacom era ===
In February 1994, [[Viacom (1952–2006)|Viacom]] acquired 50.1% of Paramount Communications Inc. shares for $9.75 billion, following a five-month battle with [[QVC]], and completed the merger in July.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=February 15, 1994|page=A1|last=Fabrikant|first=Geraldine|title=Executives Say That Viacom Has Won Paramount Battle|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/02/15/business/executives-say-that-viacom-has-won-paramount-battle.html|access-date=August 15, 2020|archive-date=December 18, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201218045123/https://www.nytimes.com/1994/02/15/business/executives-say-that-viacom-has-won-paramount-battle.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Annual Report|url=https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/44482/0000950112-94-002132.txt|website=[[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission]]|access-date=March 7, 2016|archive-date=March 8, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160308073121/http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/44482/0000950112-94-002132.txt|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|title=75 Power Players: The Outsiders|journal=[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]|issue=11|publisher=[[Imagine Media]]|date=November 1995|page=61 |quote=Viacom completed acquisition of Paramount Communications in July 1994, creating one of the world's largest entertainment companies.}}</ref> At the time, Paramount's holdings included Paramount Pictures, [[Madison Square Garden]], the [[New York Rangers]], the [[New York Knicks]], and the [[Simon & Schuster]] publishing house.<ref name="Viacom">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/02/15/business/executives-say-that-viacom-has-won-paramount-battle.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm|title=Executives Say That Viacom Has Won Paramount Battle|last=Fabrikant|first=Geraldine|date=February 15, 1994|work=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=May 21, 2012|archive-date=November 14, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131114093059/http://www.nytimes.com/1994/02/15/business/executives-say-that-viacom-has-won-paramount-battle.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm|url-status=live}}</ref> The deal had been planned as early as 1989, when the company was still known as Gulf and Western.<ref name="Delugach"/> Though Davis was named a member of the board of [[National Amusements]], which controlled Viacom, he ceased to manage the company.

Under Viacom, the Paramount Stations Group continued to build with more station acquisitions, eventually leading to Viacom's acquisition of its former parent, the [[CBS]] network, in 1999. Around the same time, Viacom bought out [[Spelling Television|Spelling Entertainment]], incorporating its library into that of Paramount itself.

Viacom split into two companies in 2006, one retaining the [[Viacom (2005–present)|Viacom]] name (which continued to own Paramount Pictures), while another was named [[CBS Corporation]] (which now controlled Paramount Television Group, which was renamed CBS Paramount Television, now known as [[CBS Television Studios]] and worldwide distribution unit is now [[CBS Television Distribution]] and [[CBS Studios International]], in 2006, Simon & Schuster [except for Prentice Hall and other educational units, which Viacom sold to [[Pearson PLC]] in 1998, and what's left of the original Paramount Stations Group, now known as [[CBS Television Stations]]). National Amusements retains majority control of the two.

Together, these two companies own many of the former media assets of Gulf and Western and its Paramount successor today. Meanwhile, the Madison Square Garden properties (including Madison Square Gardens, the [[MSG Network]], Knicks and Rangers) were sold to [[Cablevision]] for $1.075 billion not long after the Viacom takeover.<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Daily Variety]]|date=January 12, 1995|page=26|edition=61st anniversary|title=Sumner Redstone}}</ref> CBS retained ownership of the Paramount Parks chain for a few months after becoming part of the new CBS Corporation, but sold the parks to [[Cedar Fair]] in the summer of 2006, and thus National Amusements got out of the theme park ownership business entirely. Over the next few years, Cedar Fair purged references to Viacom-owned properties from the former Paramount Parks, a task completed in 2010. Viacom also sold its stake in the [[NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Group|USA Networks]] to Universal in 1997, and the channels came under the ownership of Universal's successor, [[NBCUniversal]], which still retained those holdings as of late July 2013.

During this time period, Paramount Pictures went under the guidance of Jonathan Dolgen, chairman and [[Sherry Lansing]], president.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://articles.latimes.com/1994-03-17/business/fi-35287_1_sony-pictures |title=Viacom to Name Jonathan Dolgen New Paramount Studio Head : Hollywood: The Sony Pictures executive will oversee movie and TV operations in a deal that is expected to be announced today. – latimes |publisher=Articles.latimes.com |date=March 18, 1994 |access-date=August 8, 2015 |first=Alan |last=Citron |archive-date=October 10, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151010020512/http://articles.latimes.com/1994-03-17/business/fi-35287_1_sony-pictures |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sherrylansingfoundation.org/page.php?whPage=lansing.php |title=The Sherry Lansing Foundation |publisher=The Sherry Lansing Foundation |access-date=August 8, 2015 |archive-date=March 7, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150307062927/http://www.sherrylansingfoundation.org/page.php?whPage=lansing.php |url-status=live }}</ref> During their administration over Paramount, the studio had an extremely successful period of films with two of Paramount's ten highest-grossing films being produced during this period.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boxofficemojo.com/studio/chart/?view=company&view2=allrovis&studio=paramount.htm |title=Box Office by Studio: Paramount |website=BoxOfficeMojo.com |access-date=January 7, 2010 |archive-date=February 3, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120203140142/http://boxofficemojo.com/studio/chart/?view=company&view2=allrovis&studio=paramount.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> The most successful of these films, ''[[Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic]]'', a joint partnership with [[20th Century Fox]], and [[Lightstorm Entertainment]] became the highest-grossing film up to that time, grossing over $1.8 billion worldwide.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=titanic.htm |title=Titanic |website=BoxOfficeMojo.com |date=March 15, 1998 |access-date=January 7, 2010 |archive-date=March 21, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120321035129/https://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=titanic.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Also during this time, three Paramount Pictures films won the [[Academy Award]] for Best Picture; ''Titanic, Braveheart'', and ''Forrest Gump''.

Paramount's most important property, however, was ''Star Trek''. Studio executives had begun to call it "the franchise" in the 1980s due to its reliable revenue, and other studios envied its "untouchable and unduplicatable" success. By 1998 ''Star Trek'' television shows, movies, books, videotapes, and licensing provided so much of the studio's profit that "it is not possible to spend any reasonable amount of time at Paramount and not be aware of [its] presence"; filming for ''Star Trek: Voyager'' and ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'' required up to nine of the largest of the studio's 36 [[sound stage]]s.<ref name="meehan2005">{{cite book |title=Why TV is not our fault: television programming, viewers, and who's really in control |last=Meehan |first=Eileen R. |year=2005 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |page=93 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SEtw4yGRjwUC&q=%22star%20trek%22%20%22the%20franchise%22%20paramount&pg=PA93 |isbn=0-7425-2486-8 |access-date=November 7, 2020 |archive-date=March 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210309155706/https://books.google.com/books?id=SEtw4yGRjwUC&q=%22star+trek%22+%22the+franchise%22+paramount&pg=PA93 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="poe1998">{{cite book |title=A Vision of the Future |last=Poe |first=Stephen Edward |year=1998 |publisher=Simon and Schuster |isbn=0-671-53481-5}}</ref>{{rp|49–50,54}}

In 1995, Viacom and [[Chris-Craft Industries]]' [[BHC Communications#United Television|United Television]] launched [[UPN|United Paramount Network]] (UPN) with ''Star Trek: Voyager'' as its flagship series, fulfilling Barry Diller's plan for a Paramount network from 25 years earlier. In 1999, Viacom bought out United Television's interests, and handed responsibility for the start-up network to the newly acquired [[CBS]] unit, which Viacom bought in 1999 – an ironic confluence of events as Paramount had once invested in CBS, and Viacom had once been the syndication arm of CBS as well.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Croteau|first1=David|last2=Hoynes|first2=William|title=The business of media : corporate media and the public interest|year=2006|publisher=Pine Forge|location=Thousand Oaks|isbn=1-4129-1315-2|edition=2nd|page=85|chapter=3}}</ref> During this period the studio acquired some 30 TV stations to support the UPN network as well acquiring and merging in the assets of Republic Pictures, Spelling Television and Viacom Television, almost doubling the size of the studio's television library. The television division produced the dominant prime time show for the decade in ''Frasier'' as well as such long running hits as ''NCIS'' and ''Becker'' and the dominant prime time magazine show ''Entertainment Tonight.'' Paramount also gained the ownership rights to the [[Rysher Entertainment|Rysher]] library, after Viacom acquired the rights from [[Cox Enterprises]].

During this period, Paramount and its related subsidiaries and affiliates, operating under the name "Viacom Entertainment Group" also included the fourth largest group of theme parks in the United States and Canada which in addition to traditional rides and attractions launched numerous successful location-based entertainment units including a long running "Star Trek" attraction at the Las Vegas Hilton. Famous Music – the company's celebrated music publishing arm almost doubled in size and developed artists including Pink, Bush, Green Day as well as catalog favorites including Duke Ellington and Henry Mancini. The Paramount/Viacom licensing group under the leadership of [[Tom McGrath (media executive)|Tom McGrath]] created the "Cheers" franchise bars and restaurants and a chain of restaurants borrowing from the studio's Academy Award-winning film ''Forrest Gump'' – ''The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company''. Through the combined efforts of Famous Music and the studio over ten "Broadway" musicals were created including Irving Berlin's ''White Christmas'', ''Footloose, Saturday Night Fever'', [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]]'s ''Sunset Boulevard'' among others. The company's international arm, United International Pictures (UIP), was the dominant distributor internationally for ten straight years representing Paramount, Universal and MGM. Simon and Schuster became part of the Viacom Entertainment Group emerging as the US' dominant trade book publisher.

In 2002, Paramount; along with [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures|Buena Vista Distribution]], [[20th Century Fox]], [[Sony Pictures|Columbia TriStar Pictures Entertainment]], [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM/UA Entertainment]], [[Universal Pictures|Universal Studios]], [[DreamWorks Pictures]], [[Artisan Entertainment]], [[Lionsgate|Lions Gate Entertainment]], and [[Warner Bros.]] formed the [[Digital Cinema Initiatives]]. Operating under a waiver from the antitrust law, the studios combined under the leadership of Paramount Chief Operating Officer [[Tom McGrath (media executive)|Tom McGrath]] to develop technical standards for the eventual introduction of digital film projection – replacing the now 100-year-old film technology.<ref name="dcimovies.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.dcimovies.com/ |title=Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) November 20, 2008 ERRATA TO DCI DIGITAL CINEMA SYSTEM SPECIFICATION, VERSION 1.2 |publisher=Dcimovies.com |access-date=January 7, 2010 |archive-date=February 20, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110220165719/http://www.dcimovies.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> DCI was created "to establish and document voluntary specifications for an open architecture for digital cinema that ensures a uniform and high level of technical performance, reliability and quality control."<ref name="dcimovies.com" /> McGrath also headed up Paramount's initiative for the creation and launch of the Blu-ray Disc.

====CBS/Viacom split====
Reflecting in part the troubles of the broadcasting business, in 2006 Viacom wrote off over $18 billion from its radio acquisitions and, early that year, announced that it would split itself in two. The split was completed in January 2006.<ref>{{cite news|title=Viacom's Big Bath|last=Higgins|first=John M.|author-link=John M.

With the announcement of the split of Viacom, Dolgen and Lansing were replaced by former television executives Brad Grey and Gail Berman.<ref>{{cite news|title=Hollywood Pioneer Lansing Is Poised to Exit Paramount|last=Eller|first=Claudia|url=https://articles.latimes.com/2004/nov/02/business/fi-paramount2|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=November 2, 2004|access-date=April 17, 2013|archive-date=November 5, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105153532/http://articles.latimes.com/2004/nov/02/business/fi-paramount2|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Another Exec Quits Viacom in Shake-Up|last1=Hofmeister|first1=Sallie|last2=Eller|first2=Claudia|url=https://articles.latimes.com/2004/jun/03/business/fi-dolgen3|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=June 3, 2004|access-date=April 17, 2013|archive-date=February 5, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120205202445/http://articles.latimes.com/2004/jun/03/business/fi-dolgen3|url-status=live}}</ref> The Viacom Inc. board split the company into [[CBS Corporation]] and a separate company under the [[Viacom (2005–2019)|Viacom]] name.

In 2009, CBS stopped using the Paramount name in its series and changed the name of the production arm to [[CBS Television Studios]], eliminating the Paramount name from television, to distance itself from the latter.

====DreamWorks acquisition====
On December 11, 2005, the Paramount Motion Pictures Group announced that it had purchased [[DreamWorks Pictures|DreamWorks]] SKG (which was co-founded by former Paramount executive [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]]) in a deal worth $1.6 billion. The announcement was made by [[Brad Grey]], chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures who noted that enhancing Paramount's pipeline of pictures is a "key strategic objective in restoring Paramount's stature as a leader in filmed entertainment."<ref>{{cite news |title=Paramount-Dreamworks deal finalised |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2006-02-02/paramount-dreamworks-deal-finalised/790778 |publisher=ABC News |date=February 3, 2006 |access-date=April 27, 2013 |archive-date=November 5, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105061238/http://www.abc.net.au/news/2006-02-02/paramount-dreamworks-deal-finalised/790778 |url-status=live }}</ref> The agreement does not include [[DreamWorks Animation]] SKG Inc., the most profitable part of the company that went public the previous year.<ref>{{cite news |title=Paramount Pictures Buys Dreamworks |url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,178401,00.html |newspaper=foxnews.com/ Associated Press |date=December 12, 2005 |access-date=April 14, 2013 |archive-date=May 21, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130521122740/http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,178401,00.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

====History since 2006====
Grey also broke up the famous United International Pictures (UIP) international distribution company with 15 countries being taken over by Paramount or Universal by December 31, 2006 with the joint venture continuing in 20 markets. In Australia, Brazil, France, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand and the U.K., Paramount took over UIP. While in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain and Switzerland, Universal took over and Paramount would build its own distribution operations there. In 2007 and 2008, Paramount may sub-distribute films via Universal's countries and vice versa. Paramount's international distribution unit would be headquartered in Los Angeles and have a European hub.<ref name=bks>{{cite news |last1=Thompson |first1=Anne |title='End of an Era' for United International Pictures |url=https://www.backstage.com/news/end-of-an-era-for-united-international-pictures/ |access-date=May 16, 2019 |work=Backstage |date=September 7, 2005 |archive-date=October 12, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171012100631/https://www.backstage.com/news/end-of-an-era-for-united-international-pictures/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In Italy, Paramount distributed through Universal.<ref name=vty>{{cite news|title=Fox and Paramount Forge Unique Distribution Partnership in Italy|last=Vivarelli|first=Nick|url=https://variety.com/2017/film/global/fox-paramount-forge-distribution-partnership-italy-1202468799|work=Variety|date=June 16, 2017|access-date=July 30, 2018|archive-date=July 31, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180731062259/https://variety.com/2017/film/global/fox-paramount-forge-distribution-partnership-italy-1202468799/|url-status=live}}</ref> With Universal indicated that it was pulling out of the UIP Korea and started its own operation there in November 2016, Paramount agreed to have [[CJ Entertainment]] distribute there.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Whiteman |first1=Bobbie |title=CJ to carry Paramount pix for South Korea |url=https://variety.com/2006/film/features/cj-to-carry-paramount-pix-for-south-korea-1117954672/ |access-date=May 22, 2019 |work=Variety |date=November 29, 2006 |language=en |archive-date=February 13, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200213181731/https://variety.com/2006/film/features/cj-to-carry-paramount-pix-for-south-korea-1117954672/ |url-status=live }}</ref> UIP president and chief operating officer Andrew Cripps<ref name=bks/> was hired as Paramount Pictures International head.

On October 6, 2008, DreamWorks executives announced that they were leaving Paramount and relaunching an independent DreamWorks. The DreamWorks trademarks remained with DreamWorks Animation when that company was spun off before the Paramount purchase, and DreamWorks Animation transferred the license to the name to the new company.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/06/business/media/06dreamworks.html?ref=business |title=DreamWorks Executives Sever Ties With Paramount to Form a New Company |first=Michael |last=Cieply |work=The New York Times |date=October 6, 2008 |access-date=February 23, 2017 |archive-date=January 29, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170129071011/http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/06/business/media/06dreamworks.html?ref=business |url-status=live }}</ref>

DreamWorks films, acquired by Paramount but still distributed internationally by Universal, are included in Paramount's market share. Grey also launched a Digital Entertainment division to take advantage of emerging digital distribution technologies. This led to Paramount becoming the second movie studio to sign a deal with [[Apple Inc.]] to sell its films through the [[iTunes Store]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://socialbilitty.com/2014/02/paramount-pictures/ |title=Paramount Pictures |date=February 2, 2014 |access-date=October 10, 2017 |archive-date=September 4, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170904020700/https://socialbilitty.com/2014/02/paramount-pictures/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Also, in 2007, Paramount sold another one of its "heritage" units, [[Famous Music]], to [[Sony/ATV Music Publishing]] (best known for publishing many songs by [[The Beatles]], and for being co-owned by [[Michael Jackson]]), ending a nearly-eight-decade run as a division of Paramount, being the studio's music publishing arm since the period when the entire company went by the name "Famous Players."<ref>{{cite book|last=Garrett|first=Charles Hiroshi|title=The Grove Dictionary of American Music|date=January 2013|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=New York, NY|isbn=978-0-19-531428-1|edition=Second}}</ref>

== Investments ==
=== DreamWorks Pictures ===
In 2006, Paramount became the parent of [[DreamWorks Pictures]]. [[Soros Fund Management|Soros Strategic Partners]] and [[RatPac-Dune Entertainment|Dune Entertainment II]] soon afterwards acquired controlling interest in live-action films released through DreamWorks, with the release of ''[[Just Like Heaven (film)|Just Like Heaven]]'' on September 16, 2005. The remaining live-action films released until March 2006 remained under direct Paramount control. However, Paramount still owns distribution and other ancillary rights to Soros and Dune films.

On February 8, 2010, Viacom repurchased Soros' controlling stake in DreamWorks' library of films released before 2005 for around $400 million.<ref>{{cite news|last=Fixmer|first=Andy|title=Viacom Acquires Soros Stake in Films for $400 Million (Update3)|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a5_oOCdFObtM|access-date=February 7, 2013|newspaper=Bloomberg.com|date=February 11, 2010|archive-date=November 5, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105024827/http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a5_oOCdFObtM|url-status=live}}</ref> Even as DreamWorks switched distribution of live-action films not part of existing franchises to [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]] and later [[Universal Pictures]], Paramount continues to own the films released before the merger, and the films that Paramount themselves distributed, including [[sequel]] rights such as that of ''[[Little Fockers]]'' (2010), distributed by Paramount and DreamWorks. It was a [[sequel]] to two existing [[DreamWorks Pictures|DreamWorks]] films, ''[[Meet the Parents]]'' (2000) and ''[[Meet the Fockers]]'' (2004). (Paramount only owned the international distribution rights to ''Little Fockers'', whereas [[Universal Pictures]] handled domestic distribution<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=meetthefockerssequel.htm |title=Box Office Mojo |website=Box Office Mojo |access-date=October 28, 2011 |archive-date=October 16, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111016173318/http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=meetthefockerssequel.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>).

Paramount also owned distribution rights to the [[DreamWorks Animation]] library of films made before 2013, and their previous distribution deal with future DWA titles expired at the end of 2012, with ''[[Rise of the Guardians]]''. [[20th Century Fox]] took over distribution for post-2012 titles beginning with ''[[The Croods]]'' (2013)<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.deadline.com/2012/08/exclusive-dreamworks-animation-to-fox/ |title=Dreamworks Animation to Fox for new 5-Year Distribution Deal |website=Deadline Hollywood |date=August 20, 2012 |access-date=September 25, 2012 |archive-date=September 17, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120917230609/http://www.deadline.com/2012/08/exclusive-dreamworks-animation-to-fox/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and ending with ''[[Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie]]'' (2017). Universal Pictures subsequently took over distribution for DreamWorks Animation's films beginning with ''[[How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World]]'' (2019) due to [[NBCUniversal]]'s acquisition of the company in 2016. Paramount's rights to the 2006-2012 DWA library would have expired 16 years after each film's initial theatrical release date,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dreamworksanimation.com/2013ar/Dreamworks_2013_Annual_Report.pdf|title=2013 Annual Report|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190412002524/http://www.dreamworksanimation.com/2013ar/Dreamworks_2013_Annual_Report.pdf|archive-date=12 April 2019}}</ref> but in July 2014, DreamWorks Animation purchased Paramount's distribution rights to the pre-2013 library, with 20th Century Fox distributing the library until January 2018, which Universal then assumed ownership of distribution rights.<ref>{{cite news |first=Alexandra |last=Cheney |url=https://variety.com/2014/biz/news/dreamworks-animation-q2-earnings-fall-short-of-estimates-1201271262/ |title=DreamWorks Animation Q2 Earnings Fall Short of Estimates, SEC Investigation Revealed |work=Variety |date=July 29, 2014 |access-date=August 8, 2015 |archive-date=June 23, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180623141606/https://variety.com/2014/biz/news/dreamworks-animation-q2-earnings-fall-short-of-estimates-1201271262/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Another asset of the former DreamWorks owned by Paramount is the pre-2008 [[DreamWorks Television]] library, which is currently distributed by Paramount's sister company [[CBS Media Ventures]]; it includes ''[[Spin City]]'', ''[[High Incident]]'', ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]'', ''[[Undeclared]]'' and ''[[On the Lot]]''.

=== CBS library ===
Independent company Hollywood Classics represents Paramount with the theatrical distribution of all the films produced by the various motion picture divisions of [[CBS]] over the years, as a result of the Viacom/CBS merger.

Paramount has outright video distribution to the aforementioned CBS library with some exceptions; less-demanded content is usually released manufactured-on-demand by CBS themselves or licensed to [[Visual Entertainment Inc.]] As of the 2019 Viacom/CBS merger, this library now includes the theatrical distribution of [[Terrytoons]] short films on behalf of [[Paramount Animation]], while [[CBS Media Ventures]] owns the television distribution. Until 2009, the video rights to ''[[My Fair Lady (film)|My Fair Lady]]'' were with original theatrical distributor [[Warner Bros.]], under license from CBS (the video license to that film has now reverted to Paramount).

In March 2012, Paramount licensed their name and logo to a luxury hotel investment group which subsequently named the company Paramount Hotels and Resorts. The investors plan to build 50 hotels throughout the world based on the themes of Hollywood and the California lifestyle. Among the features are private screening rooms and the Paramount library available in the hotel rooms. In April 2013, Paramount Hotels and Dubai-based [[DAMAC Properties]] announced the building of the first resort: "DAMAC Towers by Paramount."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-14/paramount-hotels-resorts-plans-50-hollywood-themed-properties.html |title=Paramount Hotels & Resorts Plans 50 Hollywood-Themed Properties |first=Zainab |last=Fattah |date=May 14, 2012 |work=Bloomberg |access-date=March 10, 2017 |archive-date=December 9, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141209165109/http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-14/paramount-hotels-resorts-plans-50-hollywood-themed-properties.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://travel.cnn.com/paramounts-first-movie-themed-resort-planned-dubai-288176 |title=Paramount's first resort under development in Dubai – CNN Travel |work=CNN |access-date=April 12, 2013 |archive-date=April 4, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130404055159/http://travel.cnn.com/paramounts-first-movie-themed-resort-planned-dubai-288176 |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Logo ==
[[File:DarioCampanile.Paramount.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Artist Dario Campanile poses with a picture Paramount commissioned him in 1986 to paint for its 75th anniversary. The company later used the painting as a basis for its new logo. That logo was introduced as a prototype in the 1986 film ''[[The Golden Child]]''; the 1987 film ''[[Critical Condition (film)|Critical Condition]]'' was the first to feature the finalized version of the logo. 1999's ''[[South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut]]'' was the first to use an enhanced version of the logo, which was last used on 2002's ''[[Crossroads (2002 film)|Crossroads]]''.]]

[[File:Paramount Pictures logo (2010).jpg|right|250px|thumb|For its 90th anniversary, Paramount adopted the logo shown here. In 2012, it was used in tandem with the current one. This picture shows the 2010 modification of the logo, which includes [[Viacom (2005–2019)|Viacom]]'s revised byline introduced in 2006. The first movie to use the revised Viacom byline was ''[[Iron Man 2]]''.]]

The distinctively pyramidal Paramount mountain has been the mainstay of the company's [[production logo]] since its inception and is the oldest surviving Hollywood film logo. In the sound era, the logo was accompanied by a fanfare called ''[[Paramount on Parade]]'' after the film of the same name, released in 1930. The words to the fanfare, originally sung in the 1930 film, were "Proud of the crowd that will never be loud, it's Paramount on Parade."

Legend has it that the mountain is based on a doodle made by [[W. W. Hodkinson]] during a meeting with [[Adolph Zukor]]. It is said to be based on the memories of his childhood in [[Utah]]. Some claim that Utah's [[Ben Lomond Mountain (Utah)|Ben Lomond]] is the mountain Hodkinson doodled, and that Peru's [[Artesonraju]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock/150268/artesonraju.html |title=Artesonraju – Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering |publisher=SummitPost |access-date=January 7, 2010 |archive-date=January 7, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090107165830/http://www.summitpost.org./mountain/rock/150268/artesonraju.html |url-status=live }}</ref> is the mountain in the live-action logo, while others claim that the Italian side of [[Monte Viso|Monviso]] inspired the logo. Some editions of the logo bear a striking resemblance to the [[Pfeifferhorn]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.summitpost.org/trip-report/466312/wasatch-alpine-classic-north-ridge-pfeifferhorn-photo-trip-report-november-2008.html |title=Wasatch Alpine Classic |work=Summit Post |access-date=October 20, 2010 |archive-date=March 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210309155724/https://www.summitpost.org/wasatch-alpine-classic-north-ridge-pfeifferhorn-photo-trip-report-november-2008/466312 |url-status=live }}</ref> another [[Wasatch Range]] peak, and to the [[Matterhorn]] on the border between [[Switzerland]] and [[Italy]]. [[Mount Huntington (Alaska)|Mount Huntington]] in Alaska also bears a striking resemblance.

The motion picture logo has gone through many changes over the years:
* The logo began as a somewhat indistinct charcoal rendering of the mountain ringed with superimposed stars. The logo originally had twenty-four stars, as a tribute to the then current system of contracts for actors, since Paramount had twenty-four stars signed at the time.
* In 1951, the logo was redesigned as a [[matte painting]] created by [[Jan Domela]].
* A newer, more realistic-looking logo debuted in 1953 for Paramount films made in 3D. It was reworked in early-to-mid 1954 for Paramount films made in [[widescreen]] process [[VistaVision]]. The text ''VistaVision – Motion Picture High Fidelity'' was often imposed over the Paramount logo briefly before dissolving into the [[title sequence]]. In early 1968, the text "A Paramount Picture/Release" was shortened to "Paramount", and the byline ''A Gulf+Western Company'' appeared on the bottom. The logo was given yet another modification in 1974, with the number of stars being reduced to 22, and the Paramount text and Gulf+Western byline appearing in different fonts.
* In September 1975, the logo was simplified in a shade of blue, adopting the modified design of the 1968 print logo, which was in use for many decades afterward. A version of the print logo had been in use by Paramount Television since 1968.
* The studio launched an entirely new logo in December 1986 with [[computer-generated imagery]] of a lake and stars. This version of the Paramount logo was designed by Dario Campanile and animated by Apogee, Inc; for this logo, the stars would move across the screen into the arc shape instead of it being superimposed over the mountain as it was before. A redone version of this logo debuted with ''[[South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut]]'', released on June 30, 1999.
* In March 2002, an updated logo was introduced in which shooting stars would fall from a night sky to form the arc while the Paramount logo would fly into place between them. An enhanced version of this logo debuted with ''[[Iron Man 2]]'', released on May 7, 2010. The south col area of [[Mount Everest]] became the primary basis. The music is accompanied by ''Paramount on Parade''. This logo continued to be featured on DVD and Blu-ray releases with the [[Viacom (1952–2006)|first incarnation of Viacom]] byline until March 5, 2019, ending with ''[[Instant Family]]''.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}

{{Main|Lists of Paramount Pictures films}}
A few years after the ruling of the ''[[United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc.]]'' case in 1948, Music Corporation of America ([[MCA Inc.|MCA]]) approached Paramount offering $50 million for 750 sound feature films released prior to December 1, 1949 with payment to be spread over a period of several years. Paramount saw this as a bargain since the fleeting movie studio saw very little value in its library of old films at the time. To address any antitrust concerns, MCA set up [[EMKA, Ltd.]] as a dummy corporation to sell these films to television. EMKA's/Universal Television's library includes the five Paramount [[Marx Brothers]] films, most of the Bob Hope–Bing Crosby ''[[Road to...]]'' pictures, and other classics such as ''[[Trouble in Paradise (1932 film)|Trouble in Paradise]]'', ''[[Shanghai Express (film)|Shanghai Express]]'', ''[[She Done Him Wrong]]'', ''[[Sullivan's Travels]]'', ''[[The Palm Beach Story]]'', ''[[For Whom the Bell Tolls (film)|For Whom the Bell Tolls]]'', ''[[Double Indemnity]]'', ''[[The Lost Weekend (film)|The Lost Weekend]]'', and ''[[The Heiress]]''.

The studio has produced many critically acclaimed films such as ''[[Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic]]'', ''[[Footloose (1984 film)|Footloose]]'', ''[[Breakfast at Tiffany's (film)|Breakfast at Tiffany's]]'', ''[[Braveheart]]'', ''[[Ghost (1990 film)|Ghost]]'', ''[[The Truman Show]]'', ''[[Mean Girls]]'', ''[[Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]'', ''[[Rocketman (film)|Rocketman]]'', ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off]]'', ''[[The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (film)|The Curious Case of Benjamin Button]]'', ''[[Days of Thunder]]'', ''[[Rosemary's Baby (film)|Rosemary's Baby]]'', ''[[Nebraska (film)|Nebraska]]'', ''[[Sunset Boulevard (1950 film)|Sunset Boulevard]]'', ''[[Forrest Gump (film)|Forrest Gump]]'', ''[[Super 8 (2011 film)|Super 8]]'', ''[[Coming to America]]'', ''[[World War Z (film)|World War Z]]'', ''[[Babel (film)|Babel]]'', ''[[The Conversation (film)|The Conversation]]'', ''[[The Fighter (2010 film)|The Fighter]]'', ''[[Interstellar (film)|Interstellar]]'', ''[[Team America: World Police|Team America]]'', ''[[Terms of Endearment]]'', ''[[The Wolf of Wall Street (2013 film)|The Wolf of Wall Street]]'' and ''[[A Quiet Place (film)|A Quiet Place]]''; as well as commercially successful franchises and/or properties such as: the ''[[The Godfather (film series)|Godfather]]'' films, ''[[Star Trek]]'', ''[[Mission: Impossible (film series)|Mission: Impossible]]'', ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', the ''[[Grease (film)|Grease]]'' films, ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (Film)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', the ''[[Top Gun]]'' films, ''[[The Italian Job]]'', the ''[[Transformers (film series)|Transformers]]'' films, the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film series)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' films, the ''[[List of Tomb Raider media#Films|Tomb Raider]]'' films, the ''[[Friday the 13th (franchise)|Friday the 13th]]'' films, the ''[[Cloverfield (franchise)|Cloverfield]]'' films, the ''[[G.I.

== Controversy ==
On July 31, 2018, Paramount was targeted by the [[National Hispanic Media Coalition]] and the National Latino Media Council, which have both claimed that the studio has the worst track record of hiring Latino and Hispanic talent both in front of and behind the camera (the last Paramount film directed by a Spanish director was ''[[Rings (2017 film)|Rings]]'' in 2017). In response to the controversy, Paramount released the statement: "We recently met with NHMC in a good faith effort to see how we could partner as we further drive Paramount's culture of diversity, inclusion, and belonging. Under our new leadership team, we continue to make progress — including ensuring representation in front of and behind the camera in upcoming films such as ''[[Dora and the Lost City of Gold|Dora the Explorer]]'', ''[[Instant Family]],'' ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]],'' and ''[[Like a Boss (film)|Limited Partners]]'' – and welcome the opportunity to build and strengthen relationships with the Latino creative community further."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://deadline.com/2018/07/latino-representation-paramount-pictures-film-nlmc-nhmc-1202436979/|title=Paramount Responds To Latino Leaders' Boycott Call Over "Dismal" Hiring Of Latinos In Films – Update|last=Robb|first=David|magazine=Deadline Hollywood|date=July 31, 2018|access-date=August 13, 2018|archive-date=August 12, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180812172152/https://deadline.com/2018/07/latino-representation-paramount-pictures-film-nlmc-nhmc-1202436979/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-paramount-diversity-20180801-story.html|title=Paramount says it is making progress on Latino representation after criticism|author=David NG|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=August 1, 2018|access-date=August 13, 2018|archive-date=March 9, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210309155701/https://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-paramount-diversity-20180801-story.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2018/07/paramount-pictures-boycott-latino-groups-studio-representation-1201989645/|title=Paramount Pictures Boycott Called for By Latino Groups Claiming Studio Has Worst Recent Representation Track Record|last=Marotta|first=Jenna|work=IndieWire|date=July 31, 2018|access-date=August 13, 2018|archive-date=March 9, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210309155726/https://www.indiewire.com/2018/07/paramount-pictures-boycott-latino-groups-studio-representation-1201989645/|url-status=live}}</ref>
