Television and video distribution
.^ The Riches is produced by FOX Television Studios in association with Maverick Television and distributed by the FX Television Network, where it has been given a 13 episode initial order.
^ Info: In 1992, CBS premiered Forever Knight, a stylish and sexy television series.
^ It originally aired from October 30, 1999 to February 26, 2000, and was produced by Avi Arad and distributed by 20th Century Fox Television.
UATV became
MGM/UA Television in 1981 after
United Artists merged with
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
In 1986,
Turner Broadcasting System attempted to purchase MGM/UA, but after amassing huge debt, sold most of the acquisition back, but kept the company's considerable library. This library, which would be managed by
Turner Entertainment included the pre-1986 MGM film and television library, the pre-1950
[13][14] Warner Bros. films and short subjects, and US rights to much of the
RKO Pictures library — in addition to this series.
Some years later, after Turner merged with Time Warner,
Warner Bros. Television became responsible for the show's distribution, and continues to do so today. The Silvers estate (successor-in-interest to Gladysya) retained its share of ownership (both Turner and the Silvers family now share the show's copyright).
The entire series has been released on DVD through corporate sibling
Warner Home Video, and online via
AOL's IN2TV service.
