King World Productions
King World Productions, Inc. (also known as King World Entertainment, King World Enterprises, or simply King World) was a production company and syndicator of television programming in the United States independently established in 1964 until acquired by CBS in 1999, with its eventual 2007 incorporation into CBS Television Distribution (now CBS Media Ventures). Following the death of Roger King, the company continues to exist on paper as an intellectual property holder and under the moniker of KWP Studios to hold the copyright for television shows like Rachael Ray, which premiered nationally on September 18, 2006.
