Background: Colbert Television Sales was an independent television distribution company founded by television pioneer Dick Colbert and also co-ran by his son Ritch Colbert; known for distributing the game shows by Barry & Enright Productions. Colbert had a co-distribution team up with King World and allowed King World to handle ad-sales of the series by B&E until 1982, when King World formed its own ad-sales division; Camelot Entertainment Sales. On September 29, 1986, Colbert Television Sales merged with Access Syndication.
