Paramount Domestic Television took over the distribution of DreamWorks Television's shows after ABC's stake ended.

Paramount would acquire DreamWorks in 2006, leading to CBS Paramount Domestic Television/CBS Television Distribution taking over the complete rights to the DreamWorks Television library.

The current DreamWorks had its TV arm merged into Amblin Television sometime in 2013.

Most of the pre-2008 DreamWorks Television library is owned by Paramount Pictures, syndicated under CBS Media Ventures or licensed to Trifecta Entertainment & Media.

Las Vegas is distributed in North America by NBCUniversal Syndication Studios and internationally by MGM Worldwide Television Distribution.
