Background: On September 26, 2006, CBS Corporation merged King World, CBS Paramount International Television, CBS Paramount Domestic Television, and CBS Home Entertainment to form CBS Television Distribution. The merger wouldn't take effect on screen until 2007, when the KingWorld and CBS Paramount Domestic Television logos were retired in favor of this one below.
(August 20, 2007- )
Nicknames: "CBS Studio", "CGI Studio"
Logo: In a studio, with blue lights all over, we see the words "CBS Television Distribution" ("CBS" in it's usual Didot font, with "Television" next to CBS, and "Distribution" next to CBS and below Television, both are in a Helvetica font) floating above a reflective ground (which ripples at the beginning, like water) in front of a wall with clouds on it. The camera zooms out from the logo until it's over. But on the longer version, it stops behind some black girders.
Variants:
FX/SFX: Beautiful graphics, period! The CGI set looks well done, reminiscent of the 1997-2006 CBS Productions logo.
Music/Sounds: A beautiful 6 note violin sounder, which sounds like a remix of the music in the CBS Paramount Network Television logo. There are four elements:
Music/Sounds Variants: On Jeopardy!, you can still hear part of the 1998 King World thunderclap sound effect before the theme is playing.
Availability: Appears mostly on first-run syndicated programming from CBS Paramount Domestic Television, such as Judge Judy, Dr. Phil, Montel and Entertainment Tonight. It is also seen on ex-King World distribute shows like: Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, Rachael Ray, and Inside Edition. It can also be seen on local reruns of Fraiser, Half & Half, One on One, and Maximum Exposure (the latter title to have followed after the Paramount Domestic Television logo of the time. This logo was also seen on Everybody Loves Raymond in syndication which plasters over the King World logo. It was also seen on Star Trek: The Original Series - Remastered. Also on new programming like The Doctors. The extended version is seen on their website and was seen on the final two seasons of Montel. The short version can also be seen on DVD releases of Hawaii Five-O, starting with the fourth season.
Scare Factor: None; possibly one of the best logos of the decade.

Variants:
- The longer variant has everything the above says, except at the beginning, the camera zooms away from the CBS Eyemark, and "Television Distribution" zooms back in place, and then the camera moves away from the logo and stops behind the girders. It can be seen here. (BTW, thanks Shadeed for showing me this!)
- A Black and White version is used on B&W shows.
FX/SFX: Beautiful graphics, period! The CGI set looks well done, reminiscent of the 1997-2006 CBS Productions logo.
Music/Sounds: A beautiful 6 note violin sounder, which sounds like a remix of the music in the CBS Paramount Network Television logo. There are four elements:
- In the short version of the logo, the jingle is faster paced.
- Sometimes, the theme would have either five (minus the first note) or all six notes.
- There is a longer version of the theme.
- On the extended theme, there is a much extended theme that would have the elements of the long version theme.
Music/Sounds Variants: On Jeopardy!, you can still hear part of the 1998 King World thunderclap sound effect before the theme is playing.
