ArgosyMTM AU

Changes

 * Argosy (magazine) would be based in Seattle, WA, and would have spun off a production company in 1953, called Argosy Media.
 * Argosy Media would be one of the first ever TV production companies that started off as not connected to a film company, but it would get a film company called Argosy Pictures in 1973, after taking over AoFM Pictures.
 * MTM Enterprises would still exist today as part of Argosy Media, under the parent company ArgosyMTM Group.
 * MTM Enterprises would have merged with Argosy Media Affiliates in 1984 to form Argosy Entertainment, which would be acquired by TVS Entertainment in 1988, and then International Family Entertainment in 1993.
 * Seattle, WA, would be a major city for the film industry, serving effectively as a “second Hollywood”.
 * Several “mini-major” studios based in Seattle would have joined forces in 1937 to form the Association of Film Makers (later AoFM Pictures), which would have been taken over by Argosy Media in 1973 and renamed to Argosy Pictures.
 * International Family Entertainment would be bought out by Canadian cable company Shaw Communications in 1996, and spun off (along with Nelvana and the Canadian YTV-related channels) into Corus Entertainment in 1999.
 * Shaw would still sell the US Family Channel (now Freeform) to Fox in 1997 to form Fox Family, which would later be sold to Disney in 2001, not changed from our timeline.
 * In 2006, Corus Entertainment would spin off its holdings based outside Canada, including MTM Enterprises, Argosy Media, and the TVS Entertainment, Southern ITV, and Family Channel libraries, into a new company, Argosy Communications, which would be reorganized into ArgosyMTM Group in 2011.
 * Some fictional animation alumni would exist, such as Michael Shires, Michael Shires Jr., Ellen Peck, Paul Lopez, and Nathan Blake.
 * TVS would have bought out the library of its predecessor ITV franchise, Southern, in 1982.
 * Coca-Cola would also acquire Embassy Pictures around the same time as Embassy Television, and would have continued to own Embassy after selling off Columbia and TriStar, until 1989 when it was sold back to Norman Lear. This means that the Embassy name would survive until today.
 * Shaw Communications would have acquired Embassy in 1997, and it would now be part of ArgosyMTM Group. This means that the TAT and Embassy libraries would be owned by ArgosyMTM Group instead of Sony.
 * ”In spite of a nail”, older Embassy and TAT logos would still be plastered, but with MTM logos instead of ColTri or Sony logos. This means that the complete TAT logo would still be lost media.
 * Argosy Media would have been part of the Gramercy joint-venture with PolyGram and Universal, and would later take it over entirely in 1996.
 * This means that the Gramercy name would continuously be used until today, and the OTL short-lived revival of Gramercy from 2015-16 would be the same entity as the original Gramercy, under ArgosyMTM Group control.
 * Gramercy would also have a television division, known as Gramercy Pictures Television.
 * Judy Garland would have created her own film studio, Judy Garland Productions (or Garland for short), in 1950.
 * The Judy Garland Show would be co-produced by Garland’s own company, under the television unit, Judy Garland Television.
 * Judy Garland would have had a daughter named Judy Garland Jr., who would take over the company after her mother died.
 * In 1973, Judy Garland Jr. and Judy Garland Productions would have won a lawsuit against MGM over personality rights, meaning most MGM films starring Judy Garland (except for The Wizard of Oz) would become owned by Judy Garland Productions (and later ArgosyMTM Group).
 * Judy Garland Productions would have been bought out by TVS in 1984 and renamed to its current name, Judy Garland Pictures; through a series of mergers and acquisitions, Garland would now be owned by ArgosyMTM Group.
