History
editThe television unit was founded at the same time as the parent studio Mandalay Entertainment. It originally had an exclusive deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment, who was producing shows and television films under the logos of Columbia Pictures Television and TriStar Television.[1][2]
In 1997, Mandalay Entertainment was sold to Lions Gate Entertainment.[3] Two years later, Mandalay Television was split off from Lions Gate, and it became an independent organization again.[4] In 1999, Mandalay Television's deal with Columbia TriStar Television was extended.[5]
In 2000, Elizabeth Stephen, who moved off from theatrical motion pictures joined the company, and it was head of the television movie division.[6]
