'''Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution''' ('''WBDTD''') is an American [[Broadcast syndication|television distribution]] arm of [[Warner Bros. Television]], itself a part of [[Time Warner]] formed c. 1960. In 1989, the studio formed '''Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution''' ('''WBDTD''') after acquiring [[Lorimar-Telepictures]] when both distribution arms folded into WBTD.

The company currently distributes the library from its television library, including [[television program]]ming material acquired from [[Turner Broadcasting System]] (includes [[Turner Entertainment]] (the pre-May 1986 [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM]] TV library, the holdings of [[Associated Artists Productions]], ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'' and its two animated spin-offs ''[[The New Adventures of Gilligan]]'' and ''[[Gilligan's Planet]]'') Turner Program Services (''[[Captain Planet and the Planeteers]]'' and ''[[The New Adventures of Captain Planet]]'' (both produced by [[DiC Entertainment]] and [[Hanna-Barbera]]), and most of the Hanna-Barbera and pre-1991 [[Ruby-Spears]] cartoons), [[Lorimar Television]], [[Telepictures]], post-1974 [[Rankin-Bass]], [[HBO]] (except for non-US rights to certain shows), and [[Wolper Productions]]. WBTD also handles its [[Warner Bros.|own motion picture library]] including those acquired from studios by Turner Entertainment Co. (including most of the pre-May 23, 1986 MGM library), [[Castle Rock Entertainment]] (excepting those currently owned by MGM and [[Sony Pictures Entertainment]]), most films by Lorimar Motion Pictures, most of the [[HBO Films]] (includes HBO NYC, HBO Films, and HBO Pictures), [[New Line Cinema]], and [[Warner Independent Pictures]], among others.

In 1994, Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution formed '''Warner Bros. Domestic Pay TV Cable & Network Features'''. In 2000, however, Warner Bros. Domestic Pay TV Cable & Network Features was folded back into WBDTD.
