It is the revival and successor to Paramount's original television division, which rebranded as CBS Paramount Television[5] and was kept by CBS Corporation, the new name for the original Viacom, on December 31, 2005 – on that same day, the second Viacom took ownership of Paramount Pictures. After the expiration of a 3-year licensing agreement between the split companies for the "Paramount" trademarks, CBS Paramount Television was rebranded to CBS Television Studios on May 17, 2009[6] and then currently CBS Studios on October 8, 2020. On January 14, 2020, following the closed merger of the second Viacom and CBS Corporation to form ViacomCBS (which changed name to the current Paramount Global on February 17, 2022), the revived Paramount Television was rebranded as Paramount Television Studios.[7]
