Background: This was the television production/distribution arm of New Line Cinema launched in 1988; first producing and promoting the Freddy Kreuger franchise on TV originally, specifically the show Freddy's Nightmares, closing shortly in 1990 when this series was canceled. However, it was revived in 1993, before it was sold to the Turner company in 1994. Officially, on October 2006, it was announced that MGM Television (owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer under the umbrella of Sony Corporation of America and its partners) would be distributing New Line Television material and television broadcasts of New Line films. In 2008, after New Line Cinema shut down as an independent studio under TimeWarner, it was made as a division of Warner Bros. Pictures. As of the matter, New Line Television was closed down.
