Lionsgate Television

Background
Lionsgate Television (formerly known as Lions Gate Television, Inc.) is the television division of Lionsgate Films, established in 1997 with the film studio, which later became an incorporated entity on March 12, 1999. It is currently run by chairman Kevin Beggs and president Sandra Stern. Around the time it launched, the company acquired Mandalay Television, then sold off its shares two years later before outright splitting in 2002.

On July 12, 2006, following its acquisition of Debmar-Mercury, the company expanded into television syndication, although they previously handled syndication with the studio's film library prior. The company went to 20th Television for advert sales, which distributed their output, with the exception of Meet the Browns, which was handled by Disney-ABC Domestic Television and Warner Bros. Television Distribution.
