- Created in 1985 as the television division of Tri-Star Pictures, which was formerly a joint venture between Columbia Pictures, HBO and CBS. In 1986, Tri-Star Television formed its own distribution and syndication, TeleVentures, in a partnership with Stephen J. Cannell. CBS sold the entirety of stake in Tri-Star to HBO and Columbia. That September, Tri-Star Television produced its first series, Downtown. On December 31, 1986, HBO sold their stake to Columbia and its parent, Coca-Cola. On January 1, 1987, Tri-Star's distribution for its television programs were handled by the newly created Coca-Cola Telecommunications. In November, Coke merged its entertainment operations with Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. with Tri-Star in exchange for acquiring its 80% stake for $3.1 billion. As a result, Tri-Star Pictures, Inc. was reincorporated as Columbia Pictures Entertainment, Inc.. Therefore, all of Tri-Star's films and television shows were copyrighted by CPE for the time being. On January 4, 1988, Coke spun-off CPE by selling off 31% of its 80-percent stake. Then, on February 23, Tri-Star Pictures was reincorporated separately as a production company, leaving CPE as a holding company. Its television division, Tri-Star Television, went in-name-only with its many series being produced by CPT. In July, Tri-Star Television would later be folded into the newly reincorporated Columbia Pictures Television, Inc.
In September 1989, Coke's 49% stake in Columbia Pictures was acquired by Japanese conglomerate Sony Corporation before being fully acquired two months later.
On July 11, 1990, its distribution division, TeleVentures, was dissolved with many of Tri-Star's programs being distributed by Columbia Pictures Television Distribution, a new name for Columbia's distribution division following Coke's spin-off of CPE and renaming from CC Telecommunications. Stephen Cannell left the Columbia joint venture following Sony's acquisition, while acquiring most of TeleVentures' assets from Tri-Star and renaming the company entity Cannell Distribution Co., a part of his production company, Stephen J. Cannell Productions. In 1991, Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures Entertainment was finalized. CPE was later renamed Sony Pictures Entertainment. However, its television faction was reorganized under the internal division of Sony Television Entertainment. Jon Feltheimer, the head of New World Entertainment's television division, was later brought into Sony along wth Peter Guber and Jon Peters after their company, Guber-Peters Entertainment, was acquired. Feltheimer brought his collection of television shows with him when he joined SPE, helping to revive Tri-Star's television division. However, on October 10, the company entity was changed to TriStar Pictures, removing its hyphen and recovering Tri-Star Television as TriStar Television, Inc., with the newly revived division now producing the New World shows. In 1994, TriStar Television was merged with Columbia Pictures Television to form Columbia TriStar Television, Inc.. A year later, Feltheimer was moved to take over Sony Television Entertainment, which ceased to exist around July. The two television labels were moved under the umbrella of the ill-fated Columbia TriStar Television Group. On July 12, 1996, some of TriStar's series would be moved under CTT or Columbia TriStar Television Distribution (another name for the distribution label following the CTT merger). Its animated series were copyrighted under Adelaide Productions, Inc., an in-name-only animation entity under CTT. It was not until Sony's partnership in 1998 with Global Maritime Group's Entertainment Productions division, based in Germany, creating an entity merger named "Global Entertainment Productions GmbH & Co. Median KG". However, TriStar Television remained active as a one-off entity, holding the copyright for Early Edition, a show it co-produced with CBS.
In 1999, after the Sony/Global partnership ended, TriStar Television was shut down again as a production company, but managed to hold its copyright for Early Edition until the show's cancellation in 2000, resulting in all of its produced or distributed programs being handed by Columbia TriStar Television (or CTT Distribution for distributed shows). In 2002, Columbia TriStar Television was renamed to Sony Pictures Television.
In September 2015, Sony recovered TriStar Television for the second time as a boutique production label under SPT. TriStar Television was under control of Suzanne Patmore-Gibbs until her death in 2018.
