Cannell Entertainment, Inc. (also known as "The Cannell Studios" and formerly "Stephen J. Cannell Productions") was originally started in 1979 by the late writer Stephen J. Cannell after leaving Universal Studios. He was an author and a producer for most shows. In 1986, Cannell with Tri-Star Pictures and Witt/Harris Productions created a joint venture distribution called "TeleVentures". On July 11, 1990, Cannell and Tri-Star dissolved TeleVentures and was sold to Cannell and was renamed "Cannell Distribution Co." and Stephen J. Cannell Productions, Inc. was renamed to "Cannell Entertainment, Inc". In 1995, Cannell Entertainment was acquired by New World Communications for $30 million and folded Cannell Distribution Co. into New World Entertainment, and on January 22, 1997, New World was acquired by News Corporation. However in 1998, Cannell re-acquired his library from News Corporation including an 8% distribution fee. The company is still alive and is currently running by Cannell's family after Cannell's death on September 30, 2010, though Cannell worked as a novelist the remainder of his life and served as a creative consultant for the 2010 film, The A-Team with 20th Century Fox, and the final film with Cannell's name, the 2011 film, 21 Jump Street, which was released by Columbia Pictures. The logo was last used on an original series in 1999, when Silk Stalkings ended its long run on the USA Network. Though News Corporation owned Cannell Entertainment at the time of Cannell's death, Cannell owned most of his library with the exceptions of The A-Team, Stone, The Duke, and Black Sheep Squadron (owned by NBCUniversal), Hardcastle & McCormick and Riptide (owned by Sony Pictures Television in the U.S. only). On January 24, 2006, The Carsey-Werner Company acquired distribution rights to Cannell's library with the exception of those owned or distributed by major television studios. Shout! Factory currently own domestic and international rights to Cannell's solo-produced series.
