It's been alleged that MTM bought syndication company (Jim) Victory Television in 1986, and thus Victory is included in the Disney logos subsection on the Television section. I can't find any evidence for this; but I did find this piece from the Orlando Sun-Sentinel: "New York-based Victory Television has found a less-than-rousing market for the off-network Hill Street segments it has been selling for debut this fall. Those rights are expected to revert to MTM's recently formed syndication division in the 1990s." Does anyone have any evidence of this alleged MTM/Victory merger?

Well I found Jim Victory's obituary, which says Victory acquired the sales rights to the MTM library: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/tcpalm/obituary.aspx?n=james-t-victory&pid=187017984
