history: My dad is a huge fan of showtime networks but i dont even remember what type of content they produce. Do you? Showtime programming primarily includes theatrically released motion pictures and original television series. ohh gotcha. When did showtime get its start? The company was established after Viacom and Warner-Amex merged their premium channels in 1983 What are some popular showtime shows? I don't remember but the showtime brand is used by a number of channels around the world but primarily refers to the group of 8 channels in U.S. Oh wow they have 8 channels? They are really something. What else is intersting about showtime?
knowledge: In 1985, Warner sold its half-interest to Viacom, making the company a wholly owned subsidiary of Viacom.
