CBS Paramount Network Television (formerly Paramount Television) is a television broadcasting company owned by the CBS Corporation (formerly Viacom) that currently holds the production rights of any future Star Trek television series. This company was formed as the result of a 2005 split between the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) and Viacom, the latter of which owned Paramount Television. It is a division of CBS Studios, which owns the trademarks for Star Trek and all related marks.
Re-incorporated from Desilu in 1967, Paramount Television laid claim to every episode of Star Trek: The Original Series and its subsequent spin-offs for nearly forty years before CBS Corporation acquired Paramount Television and merged it with CBS Productions. On 17 January 2006, Paramount Television was officially renamed CBS Paramount Network Television.
CBS Paramount Network Television has two divisions: a production arm, CBS Paramount Television; and a distribution arm, CBS Television Distribution.
