King World was a production company and syndicator of television programming in the United States independently founded in 1964 by Charles King until acquired by CBS in 1999, with its eventual 2007 incorporation into CBS Television Distribution (now CBS Media Ventures). They were headquartered in New York City, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. When Charles King died in 1972, the company was taken over by King's children: Roger M. King (1944-2007), Michael (1948-2015), Robert (1940-2020), Diana (1949-2019), Richard (1941-2020), and Karen.

The 5rd logo since it's the logo I grew up with after I watched Jeparody and Wheel of Fortune on KRQE 13 which is a CBS affiliate and The Cowboys of Moo Mesa a very Underrated cartoon on ABC.
King World was a production company and syndication television distributor that started in 1964 and ceased production due to Roger King's death in 2007. Today it is known as CBS Media Ventures (CBS had acquired it in 2000, now part of Paramount Like Rachael Ray First Episode in 2006 The division was started in 1964 by Charles King. It was a company that expressly handled television distribution of the classic Hal Roach Our Gang shorts. When Roach lost the rights to the name "Our Gang" (it was retained by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, who bought the series from Roach in 1938), the shorts were retitled as The Little Rascals. It was through this acquisition that the comedy shorts from 1929 through 1938 have been made available to audiences for the past forty years. King World later co-produced an animated version of the shorts with Hanna-Barbera. King died in 1973 and the company was taken over by King's children: Roger King (who died in December 2007), Michael King, Robert, Diana, Richard, and Karen In 1982, King World formed an ad-sales barter division called Camelot Entertainment Sales. A year later, company chairmen, brothers Roger, Michael, and Robert acquired the syndication rights to Merv Griffin's game show Wheel of Fortune when no other studio would step in. The acquisition paid off, and Wheel of Fortune became the most popular show in the history of syndication, and has continued to be for over a quarter of a century. At one point, the program was generating a 21% national rating. The same year, the company also acquired the syndication rights of The Merv Griffin Show from Metromedia Producers Corporation.
A year later, King World bought the syndication rights to another Griffin show, Jeopardy!, and the latest version of the series (with Alex Trebek) has since become the number-two show in syndication. Originally, the company produced two pilots of the game show: one in September 1983 and the other on January 9, 1984. Robert King, the president of King World, left the company to form The Television Program Source, a television syndication company that was founded on October 15 as a joint venture between King, Alan Bennett, and Columbia Pictures Television. Shortly after this, King World launched Harpo Productions' successful The Oprah Winfrey Show, which eventually led to the creation of the spin-off series Dr. Phil, as well as the latest Harpo contribution, Rachael Ray. Oprah Winfrey was originally a local talk show host in Chicago prior to her King World launch. Dr. Phil is co-produced by Winfrey's Harpo Productions (CBS Paramount Domestic Television co-distributed for a time).
On February 11, 1985, King World formed King World Enterprises to develop joint-venture programs with advertisers and station groups and to handle international distribution for King World and Camelot the 1990s, King World operated an "As Seen On TV" VHS service called King World Direct.
Stuart Hersch, a lawyer by trade, was the financial expert who helped to take the company public, making it one of the hottest stocks on Wall Street at the time. The company traded as "KWP". King World had virtually no debt and generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues after going public.
Television stations that broadcast King World programming had first choice on any series King World offered to distribute. November 25, 1991, King World acquired the Hollywood Squares format rights from Orion Pictures Corporation after Orion closed down its television division.
In 1995, King World began co-distributing Geraldo (later The Geraldo Rivera Show) with Tribune Entertainment, and would continue co-distributing the show until its cancellation in 1998. On September 28, 1998, King World acquired the worldwide leasing rights to the solo-developed game shows by Merrill Heatter Productions for a limited time On January 19, 2000, King World was acquired by CBS. After CBS' purchase of the company, Eyemark Entertainment, the successor to Group W Productions following the CBS/Westinghouse merger, was folded into King World. CBS Enterprises was bought by Viacom, Inc. around the time of CBS' acquisition of King World, thus becoming owned by the post-split CBS Corporation as well as all of Viacom's former TV production and distribution operations.
In its later days, King World was considered the syndication branch of the CBS network - a role Viacom actually first served upon its creation. King World, however, distributed newer CBS shows, while the older shows were syndicated by corporate affiliate CBS Paramount Television, the successor to the original distributor Viacom Enterprises. Additionally, from 2000 to 2006, King World distributed several programs from Westinghouse Broadcasting, such as The Mike Douglas Show.
On September 26, 2006, CBS announced that King World and CBS Paramount Television's syndication operations would be combined to form the CBS Television Distribution Group (CTD). Roger King was announced as CEO of the new entity. However, he died on December 8, 2007, after suffering a stroke the previous day. Today, Armando Nuñez is president of CTD.
For one year, the King World on-screen identity was kept for the programs it distributed at its closure. However, most of the programs handled by King World were distributed under the name CBS Television Distribution. On August 20, 2007, CBS Television Distribution introduced a new closing logo to replace the old logos of King World, CBS Paramount Domestic Television, Paramount Television, and others. As previously mentioned, KWP Studios (the copyright holder for Rachael Ray) represents the last remnants of King World.
King World was responsible for the highest-rated shows in syndication for over two decades. They also had the television rights to a large library of theatrical films. When it was acquired by CBS Enterprises in 2000, it distributed a number of CBS-produced series for syndication, such as Everybody Loves Raymond (ancillary rights to this series are owned by HBO), CSI and CSI: Miami. King World turned part of its attention to producing in-house newsmagazines including American Journal and Inside Edition.

This logo history of KingWorld is... _awesome!_ KingWorld's logos are pretty good both on the animation and the music, they are impressive indeed! Some of my most favourite logos from KingWorld being the 4th and 5th logos, the 4th logo being my best favourite logo from KingWorld! Fantastic animation for 1984 standards and this is also one of the most memorable television production logos! However, the extended version at 3:43 looks like they used chroma key effects for the additional trailing lights at the beginning.
I used to see the '98/'99 KW logo after _Wheel of Fortune_ and _Jeopardy!_ on WLKY as a toddler and was educated on the company's history at a *VERY* young age.
What is... That is so cool? Yes! I said that in the form of a question.
@@mackenziewachter2508 Correct
@@JasonDelarosa2000 Yeah! I actually remembered watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy when I was really little as well. In fact, Wheel of Fortune helped me learn the alphabet when it comes to calling letters.

11:49 Ah yes. That infamous logo that plasters one logo from every single former company owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment, or Columbia Pictures Industries.
(I'm talking about the 2002 Sony Pictures Television logo.)
Amazing as always! I really love the logos that are nostalgic.
Me too!
Best KingWorld Logo ever
King World was a production company and syndication television distributor that started in 1964 and ceased production due to Roger King's death in 2007. Today it is known as CBS Media Ventures (CBS had acquired it in 2000, now part of Paramount KWP Studios Like Rachael Ray
My favorite king world logo is the 1990's with the spotlights I remember as a toddler from watching wheel of fortune
1:45 such a state of the art logo. It’s very high tech.
KingWorld... definitely one of my favourites.
CBS Media Ventures (Formerly CBS Television Distribution) is now a successor to King World Productions, and when we watched "Rachael Ray" as this is now her final season in syndication, it will still read as KWP Studios, Inc. after the end credits as its own intellectual property.
Rachael Ray is hot ❤
Amazing logo history as always Jonty! I like your logo histories! :D
Thanks! 😃

The 1990s: King World Direct and KWP

I'm going to say the 6th KingWorld logo (the one with a sunset and the clouds) is definitely my favorite. There is quite alot going on with this logo very similarly to the Lorimar-Telepictures Clashing Comets logo from 1986. It's aesthetically pleasing to the eye to see not only a sunset in the sky, but also, the contrast of space in the lettering and the line where it looks were are going into hyperspace with the line due to stars in the blue background with a logo being a shape of a star. Also, it has quite an epic jingle with a crash of thunder in the background. KingWorld's 1998-2007 logo (the 6th one) is certainly a beautiful logo and quite underrated as it looks and sounds alot better then their 5th one which looks and sounds cheaply made.
I remembered seeing this fifth logo for the game show Wheel of Fortune.
Nice and perfect as always!
Thanks again!
"SUPER JEOPARDY! is produced by distributed by KingWorld Enterprises."

Amazing
Love it!
What is the production logo at 9:32 after king world? I started to see the logo for half a second, then got cut off.
In 1986, King World signed Oprah Winfrey to a syndication deal and agreed to distribute her Chicago-based daytime talk program nationally, resulting in the premiere of The Oprah Winfrey Show in September of that year. The acquisitions paid off, and Oprah, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune became three of the most popular shows in the history of television syndication, drawing high ratings consistently well into the 21st century. In particular, the success of Oprah eventually led to the creation of the spin-off series Dr. Phil, Rachael Ray, and The Dr. Oz Show Like Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy! Like Dr Phil 2002 or First Episode Rachael Ray on September 18 2006
Apparently there was a clause in the contract or some agreement where Dr Phil's show could not be programmed against Oprah's.
"INSIDE EDITION was distributed by KingWorld."

I can’t be thinking about Sony every time I see the 6th KW logo….
"Distributed by KingWorld Enterprises."
