Lorimar Television

Not to be confused with the defunct company of the same name Lorimar, later known as Lorimar Television and Lorimar Distribution, was an American television production company that was later a subsidiary of Warner Bros., active from 1969 until 1993. It was founded by Irwin Molasky, Merv Adelson, and Lee Rich, who named the company by combining their initials - LRIM(M)A. Inspired by Adelson's ex-wife, Lori, an O was added as was a final R (apparently inspired by Palomar Airport in San Diego, California) to make a more palatable name - Lorimar. In 1989, Lorimar was purchased by Warner Communications, which was merging with Time Inc. to form Time Warner, one of the world's largest media companies, now headquartered in the Time Warner Center in New York City. Lorimar's distribution business was folded into Warner Bros. Television Distribution and became Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.

Revival
In 2014, Mark Rich, who was the grandson of founder Lee Rich, decided to resurrect Lorimar Television. With help from the grandchildren of the company's founders, Lorimar made it's relaunch with their first production, a made-for-TV movie for DuMont Television, a remake of the 1970's movie, But I don't Want to Get Married! After that Lorimar started acquiring television stations while making television series left and right.
