After the merger, Columbia Pictures Television Distribution was renamed to Columbia TriStar Television Distribution[1] [2] [3], but the old name continued to appear on-screen until 1996. The new studio first entered production after dismantling and folding Merv Griffin Enterprises on June 4, by producing ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeopardy! Jeopardy!] and Wheel of Fortune'', distributed by King World as King World Productions or Stewart, starting in September 1994.[4] [5] Expanding its television library in 1994, SPE acquired Stewart Tele Enterprises. in 1984-2002 Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy on GSN Hollywood Squares and More by CBS Television Distribution or King World

Its global subsidiary, Columbia TriStar International Television, distributed Sony's programs across the globe. It was created in 1995 by renaming Columbia Pictures International Television. This was also the launch of the Columbia TriStar Television Group.

The studio's US distribution arm, Columbia TriStar Television Distribution, was fully launched in 1996 to distribute Sony's programs all across America and to produce and distribute their own programs as well as movies for first-run syndication and cable.

In 1996, CTT launched their own animation division, Columbia TriStar Children's Television. The name was changed in 1997 to Adelaide Productions. Within dismantling of Columbia Pictures Television in 2001 and TriStar Television in 1999, these studios were folded into Columbia TriStar Television. On October 25, 2001 CTT and CTTD merged to form Columbia TriStar Domestic Television.

Scare Factor
low to NIGHTMARE!!! : Depending on how loud it is. The 6 note Fanfare can fright some people, for Bob, Larry and Junior (B.L.J) it's none, they like that logo. However, they get kinda annoyed by more logos that contains boxes and shout out “ISN’T THERE ANYTHING ON THAT ISN’T ABOUT BOXES!?!” Like Wheel of Fortune Season 19-20 Jeopardy Mad About You and More Until Early 2003.

When Sony Pictures Entertainment renamed Columbia Tristar Television into Sony Pictures Television, their current logo “The Most Annoying Logo in the History of Logos.” wiped out every other logo, this made everyone so furious that they wanna scream in rage!

Since The VeggieTales Show came, Episode 4 would be called “The Show Must Go On.” where everyone puts on a play called “Attack of the Logo Plaster.”, it tells the story of a beautiful Torch Lady named Columbia (played by BLJFan2000) who is the ruler of Logo City. On a fine early morning, she meets a Majestic Pegasus named TriStar (played by Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber and Junior Asparagus who were filling in for Flash Sentry after he sprained his left hoof) and soon they become friends, when an evil logo named The Most Annoying Logo in the History of Logos (played by Shining Armor) captures all of the logos owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment or Columbia Pictures Industries, a group of four heroes known as The YouTube Crusaders must defeat the evil logo and free Columbia, TriStar and the other logos.
