Interstate/Allied Artists Television
Interstate Television Corporation was the television arm of Monogram/Allied Artists. It mainly syndicated the company's film library, along with the Hal Roach-produced Our Gang shorts (retitled The Little Rascals, later distributed by King World Productions, now CBS Television Distribution).
In later years it became Allied Artists Television after it became safe for film studios to show their names on television.
After Allied Artists' television library was sold to Lorimar's TV production and distribution arms, Lorimar was acquired by Warner Bros. Television who now administer the library.

A high church for the true mediocre.”
