WBTVG is responsible for the entire Warner Bros. portfolio of television businesses, including worldwide production, distribution and broadcasting. WBTVG continues to develop and foster the relationships with A-list writers and directors that have made it the largest provider of primetime broadcast TV programming for 20 of the past 25 years. At the beginning of the 2011-12 television season, WBTVG divisions will produce more than 50 television series, from scripted and unscripted primetime shows for broadcast (including at least two shows for each of the five broadcast networks) and cable networks to first-run syndicated programs and animation.
