A majority of the series produced by Spelling-Goldberg originally aired on ABC and are currently owned by Sony Pictures Television.
In 1973, Spelling-Goldberg struck a deal with Metromedia Producers Corporation to distribute the post-1973 output for off-net syndication, including TV movies and the new Chopper One.
[3] Spelling and Goldberg decided to part ways, and on June 27, 1977, the duo sold four of its series to Columbia Pictures Television including S.W.A.T., Starsky & Hutch, Charlie's Angels and Family.
All series were previously distributed by Columbia Pictures Television and its successors (except for The Rookies, which was originally syndicated by Viacom Enterprises).
Some programs were previously distributed outside the United States through Metromedia Producers Corporation and that company's successor, 20th Television.
