Entertainment Studios Networks

Entertainment Studios Networks, alternatively known as Allen Media Group Networks, is a group of seven high-definition cable networks operated by Allen Media Group, a company owned by and featuring comedian Byron Allen.

The seven networks include Cars.TV, Comedy.TV, ES.TV, Justice Central, MyDestination.TV, Pets.TV and Recipe.TV. All the shows appearing on the networks are produced and distributed exclusively by Entertainment Studios, but are also distributed in traditional broadcast syndication, to some controversy by cable providers who have rejected carriage of the networks under those grounds as providing low customer value when those programs are all available on traditional television stations.

Allen acquired The Weather Channel in early 2018, which mainly remained under carriage agreements via its old management, along with its own separate corporate structure that now falls under the same carriage agreement with ESN and Allen Media, his broadcast station's group.
