Viacom Productions


in 1971, Viacom Enterprises was spun off to comply with FCC regulations prohbiting tv networks from distributing shows under their own name. Viacom formed Viacom.. PRODUCTIONS [viacom standing for Visual Audio Communications] to produce tv series' dat aired on the major tv networks. it distirbuted cbs stuff, and then later distributed stuff from

till they got their own syndication companies (yes this is also a todo list for me :'3). in 1986 National Amusements bought em, and made em be a part of the brand new "Viacom Inc.". on March 11, 1994 Viacom Productions was reincorporated as a production subdivision of Paramount Television. cuz of serious financial trouble, in 2004 the production unit was folded into Paramount Network Television and in 2005 Paramount took control of the remaining series' produced by Viacom. on December 31st, Viacom was reincorporated into CBS Corporation. The same day, a new Viacom was formed... our story continues there
