Yates, a longtime investor in film and music properties and founder and president of Consolidated Film Industries, result of a union of six smaller Poverty Row studios ([[Monogram Pictures|Monogram]], [[Mascot Pictures|Mascot]], [[Liberty Pictures|Liberty]], Majestic, Chesterfield, and [[Invincible Pictures Corporation|Invincible]]), closing its production and distribution capabilities in 1959, and continued operating in a limited capacity, including studio lot rentals, until 1967, when the lot was sold to CBS. The film library was sold to [[National Telefilm Associates]] (NTA, now "CBS Television Distribution").</font><font color="#333333"> On December 28, 1984, NTA was renamed Republic</font> Pictures Corporation. After a 25-year hiatus, Republic Pictures returned to active production with a number of movies, series for television including the CBS series <i>Beauty and the Beast</i>, and TV movies, although they did produce few independent theatrical films including <i>Freeway</i>. In 1993, Republic won a landmark legal decision reactivating the copyright on Frank Capra's 1946 film <i>It's a Wonderful Life</i> (they had already owned the film's negative, music score, and the story on which it was based, <i>The Greatest Gift</i>). In 1994, Spelling Entertainment, controlled by Blockbuster, acquired Republic. Shortly thereafter, Spelling consolidated its many divisions, reducing Republic Pictures to an video distribution company and reincorporating it as "Republic Entertainment, Inc.", its last name. In 1994, <font color="#333333">[[Viacom (CBS)|Viacom]]</font> bought Blockbuster. In 1998, Viacom dismantled Spelling's non-television assets, and after folding Republic Pictures Home Video, licensed the home video rights of their films to Artisan Entertainment. In 1999, Viacom acquired 100% interest in Spelling. Republic was then made an in-name-only unit of [[Paramount Pictures]], a division of Viacom. In 2015, Viacom folded Republic Pictures into Paramount Pictures and created a new holding company called "Melange Pictures, LLC" as the holder of the Republic film library. As for the TV library, most of it is currently owned by ViacomCBS through [[CBS Television Distribution]] and <font color="#333333">[[Spelling Television|Spelling Television Inc.]]</font>, all of them controlled by National Amusements, Inc. The syndication rights to the theatrical library is controlled by Paramount, with U.S. broadcast syndication rights licensed to [[Trifecta Entertainment & Media]]. Olive Films currently distributes their films on DVD/Blu-Ray after Paramount's deal with Lionsgate expired.<br/><br/><br/><font color="#333333">1st Logo<br/>(1935-1938)<br/></font> </font><div align="center"> <font size="3">[[File:LvQVRVdFCz1Zk3eQSMyQmw25707.jpeg|233px|Republic Pictures (1936)]][[File:SBJC3t2h51E HabXfJtJLQ17039.jpeg|233px|Republic Pictures Present]][[File:AyJJ1JNzh90eSuVPPpin0w29555.jpeg|233px|Republic Pictures (1936, The End)]]</font></div><div align="center"><font size="3"><iframe frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/43f43017b2d739c3846ef91e212f05c9359f57e8" width="247"></iframe></font></div><font size="3"> <br/><u>Nickname</u><font color="#333333">: "The Shield"</font><br/><br/><u>Logo</u><font color="#333333">: We see a </font>black<font color="#333333"> WB-like shield on a </font><font color="#ebebeb">white</font><font color="#333333"> background with a </font>black<font color="#333333"> stripe.
