Ownership Changes
In August 1968, Talent Associates was acquired by industrialist Norton Simon. The company became known as Talent Associates-Norton Simon, Inc. until 1974, when Susskind and Gilbert bought the company back from Norton Simon. In 1977, the company was sold to Time-Life Films. Time Warner's HBO currently owns the copyrights to the Talent Associates library, with TV distribution rights handled by CBS Television Distribution. There are a few exceptions—for instance, McMillan & Wife is owned by Universal Television, which co-produced the show with Talent Associates.

Famous quotes containing the word ownership:
“They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
