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.

  • The full animation of the movie logo but having the words "NEW LINE TELEVISION" instead. Sometimes the animation is normal or sped-up.
  • In 1998, the line and the byline were shifted up a little underneath the name.
  • On season 3 of The Lost World, the series used the 2001 New Line Cinema logo with the AOL Time Warner byline.
  • On Kitchen Confidential surprisingly appears a bylineless version of the logo

FX/SFX: Just the light flashing or animating behind the logo, or the full animation of the current movie logo.

Music/Sounds: This is the list of logo themes as follows:
  • 1993-2008: The finishing of the end title theme from any show, TV movie, or silent.
  • 1997-2008: The last few notes from the movie version or the full theatrical version for some TV presentations.
  • 2001-2003: Same as above, but low-toned and re-arranged by synthesizers instead.
  • 2003-2008: A battle styled theme.
