ATBW Label Networks

ATBW Label Networks is a diversified multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate established in 1925 that produces shows and films. They first started in 1920 as Langile Studios, but was eventually changed in 1925. On September 17, 2019, the company was moved to ATBW Holdings LLC as part of the company's deal to make ATBW independent from Langile Mediaworks Division, which itself was formed from the 2003 split of Langile Corporation.

The division is mainly in charge of media and television, in which ATBW subsidiaries including ATBW Pictures (Rigel Pictures, Bluestone Pictures, and Neptune Comics), ATBW TV Holdings (ATBW TV Networks, BTV Networks, and ATBW TV Productions), Escade Corporation, Lifeworks Inc., CLP Network, EAPL Inc., Amory The Bad Woman Studios (Amory The Bad Woman Studios & Region Entertainment), ANN Inc., WN Networks, and ATBW Music Group (ATBW Records, CLP Records, and Escade Records). All of these subsidiaries and divisions are responsible for producing content for ATBW+ launched on November 10, 2019.

While it has been a division of ATBW Holdings LLC since September 17, 2019, it was formally announced by Langile Mediaworks Division on July 21, 2019.

It is one the largest players of TV networks as far as control over them. It is estimated that the company operates at least 50 cable networks, though most will be moved onto ATBW+ by January 30, 2021.

Langile Corporation Era (1925 - 2003)
The company was founded on March 25, 1925 by Eric Langile and served as the film division of Langile Corporation, which would eventually become one of the biggest media and consumer conglomerates throughout the mid and late 20th century. ATBW Label Networks would animate cartoons under the ATBW Pictures division also founded on the same date. Langile, who was working with Adler, Templeton, Bromley, and Warren, and after the demise of Langile Studios on March 10, 1925, Langile Home Entertainment was succeeded as the spin-off to it, as was founded by Thomas Langile, which would eventually distribute independent films and would be responsible for the international distribution of ATBW movies later on.

During that same time, Eric Lawn Mowers and Spade Lawn Mowers, which were two other divisions of Langile Corporation began productions on lawn mowers and Langile Corporation eventually began to manufacture air conditioners throughout the 20th century. ATBW as a division of the then Langile Corporation would eventually become a brand name by the company and would become a consumer manufacturer as well. ATBW first began production on consumer manufacturing around the early 1930's, but these would be manufactured by Langile Corporation themselves and branded as ATBW, as they are merely a film studio.

In 1937, Warren Langile Media was founded and was a sibling company to ATBW for many years, even into the age of Langile Mediaworks Division that would follow decades later. Eric Broadcasting System and other companies were founded and operated by Langile Corporation, which made ATBW's parent company a sole member of the big six major film studios (with ATBW, WLM, and EBS under their roof) with rivals Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, RKO Radio Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer even though Langile Corporation technically also did consumer products while its rivals didn't. It would also challenge the little three major film studios, Universal Pictures (which would eventually become allies alongside its eventual parent company MCA), Columbia Pictures, and United Artists (though United Artists would eventually merge into MGM).

Also in the late 1930's, ATBW opened up a chain of restaurants that would become diners, which was ATBW Store & Grille and had record players manufactured by parent company Langile Corporation. These stores also sold pre-released films as well as franchising, much in a similar manner as its rival Paramount Pictures did at its theaters. This eventually became banned in 1948 and Langile Corporation was forced to find other ways to make more money against its rivals by being fast on producing films, which was a tactic that no other film studio would have thought of. ATBW Store & Grille was only around for eight years after opening in 1937 and was completely shuttered in 1945, but one store that was sold still remains to this day.

At the same time, this meant that the big six (including Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, Langile Corporation, RKO Radio Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer), alongside the little three (including Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures, and United Artists). This honor was eventually passed down to Langile Corporation's subsidiary ATBW in the 1940's after they themselves had played in the film industry, which has been part of the big six since then. Langile Corporation eventually started manufacturing the ATBW A-Tron in 1950, which would be branded as Eric, Langile, and Warren brands, though Warren was technically a name used for their media publishing assets. ATBW Label Networks has been a member of the big six since 1954, but Langile Corporation was still a major player in the film industry as well as television and consumer industry.

Another thing throughout the 20th century was the Allway Air Conditioner, which was made since the 1930's, which would be branded as Langile, Eric, and ATBW Air Conditioning Units. These units would also be made with durability and quality, some 1960's and even the original 1930's models still in use to this day. Throughout the 1950's, ATBW would become popular with ATBW Theme Parks and Silver Quartz, which would start a new era of ATBW animation, permanently. Silver Quartz was eventually targeted as an inspiration for Pido The Rabbit 20 years later in 1974, which in turn would also be acquired by ATBW in 1980 and its films were distributed by ATBW Pictures in the mid and late 1970's.

Langile Corporation owning ATBW Label Networks, Warren Langile Media, Warren Langile Entertainment, Warren Langile Mediaworks, Eric Broadcasting System, Spade Lawn Mowers, Langile Heavy Machinery, Langile Motor Company, Eric Motor Company, Eric Lawn Mowers, etc., made them one of the biggest companies throughout the 20th Century. It hit its peak in the 1960's as the best manufacturer of air conditioners, lawn mowers, and other industrial products, as well as films and entertainment under its divisions ATBW Label Networks, Warren Langile Mediaworks, and Eric Broadcasting System. At the same time, it also ended up facing new rivals like Walmart, Target, and other businesses during these years. ATBW Store was eventually launched in 1963.

Langile Television was already a television broadcasting division of Langile Corporation since it was founded in 1950, and lasted until 1986, though it was eventually absorbed into ATBW Label Networks, which kept the name until their acquisition of Mercury Productions in 1992, resulting the previous studio to be shut down to avoid antitrust issues. Langile Corporation maintained the rights to previously broadcasted and aired television programs and kept the pre-1986 library from the division, which were moved to Langile Television Sydicate. It was one of the most popular TV syndicates from the early 1960's to the late 1970's.

When Langile Corporation began manufacturing the Langile PCG System from 1973 to 1977, which included ATBW Games and some other simple games, it became a rivaling hit to consumer markets. An MCA branded variant of the system was eventually made from 1974 to 1976, but excluded the games. The PCG was ATBW's last Langile-made product apart from the Allway Air Conditioner before retiring the ATBW name and using merely the names Eric and Langile as consumer brand names for products from 1977 onward, the exception of the ATBW A-Tron, which continued to use the ATBW name years on.

ATBW began to make their products themselves starting in 1982 after Langile Corporation ended production of ATBW consumer products. The 1980's was the first decade where ATBW became an independent manufacturer in products, and made their first acquisition of Pido's Pizza Place in 1980, which has produced movies that were distributed by the company before its acquisition. ATBW has owned the rights to the franchise since their acquisition of the company, which is now under ATBW Holdings LLC's consumer division.

Many new companies were formed in the 1980's which would eventually be acquired by the company, including Mercury Productions in 1984, Escade Corporation in 1986, and Rigel Pictures in 1987. All three would eventually be acquired the following decade. ATBW had already launched its own channels under the new ATBW TV Holdings, which was launched founded in 1982.

ATBW Label Networks in the 1990's started acquiring more companies, which were Mercury Productions in 1992, Escade Corporation and EAPL Inc. in 1994, Lifeworks Inc. in 1995, CLP Network in 1996, and BTV Networks in 1997. The 1990's was also the last full decade of the original Langile Corporation before splitting in 2003 after concerns of ATBW growing to be a big company to where it would not be able to sustain it longer. Many other things were founded as well such as ATBW Blog in 1990.

In 2000, both Zippy Land (1958) and PBLOG (1995) were acquired by ATBW, making seven acquired companies within 20 years, six within eight years. In December 2002, Langile Corporation announced its intent to split itself and form Langile Mediaworks Division, which would hold all the film and entertainment divisions, and Langile Consumer Branding, which would hold the consumer and manufacturing divisions. It was completed on May 30, 2003, with its last film within the 78 year era being Theme Regime, produced alongside ATBW Pictures and Miramax Films. The film was released on May 15, 2003.

Langile Mediaworks Division Era (2003 - 2019)
After the split on May 30, 2003, ATBW Label Networks was moved to Langile Mediaworks Division, which acquired all of Langile Corporation's media assets, with its twin Langile Consumer Branding acquiring its remaining assets. Its first film within this era was A Regal Journey, also produced with Escade Studios. Even after it got its new owner on May 30, 2003, ATBW still continued production of the A-Tron, as well as keeping its consumer products.

ATBW had acquired Watercolor Studios in 2002, and both Pagoda Studios and Elephant Studios in 2003, which would be owned under ATBW Blog. On May 12, 2006, the company acquired Merrill Studios, which is known to be the oldest ATBW Blog company still around to this day, founded on April 30, 1990. It acquired Signature Studios on June 10, 2007 and Rose Gold Studios on July 10, 2007, making six acquired ATBW Blog companies. They would also acquire Wedgehead Studios on April 10, 2008 and eventually Calligraphy Studios in 2010. While all are owned by ATBW Blog, they still compete as small studios.

The acquisition of these companies expanded the company's library of games and franchises, but these franchises would continue to be owned and controlled by the individual studios themselves. Ramworks Software on July 27, 2013 and CCTV Productions on February 17, 2018 were both new targets as well, with Ramworks Software being acquired by ATBW Blog on December 15, 2016, and CCTV Productions on [[December 22, 2018.

The company also founded Amory The Bad Woman Studios in 2010 and Region Entertainment in 2011 to produce their most popular series of the 2010's, which would come to be Amory The Bad Woman, which would become a popular show franchise in 2011 and explode in popularity 2012. These were many of the newer series of the Langile Mediaworks Era of ATBW Label Networks. iMac G3 Girls would also become popular in February of 2014, which had two new studios formed, which were Bondi Blue Studios and G3 Studios, both inspired on the iMac G3 computer by Apple.

It's other fad in 2018 was California City Show and Three Deer. The first one was Three Deer, which was made by CCTV Productions and ran from February 24, 2018 to March 24, 2018. It would eventually spawn a lawsuit against them by Calligraphy Studios since the character rights were too similar to their character Artie. Lancerware was eventually founded on April 10, 2018, which was an inspiration for California City Show, which has aired since April 24, 2018, and remains one of the most popular shows on ATBW to this day. Lancerware would also eventually become a subsidiary of ATBW on February 12, 2019.

On July 21, 2019, Langile Mediaworks Division announces its intent to sell ATBW Label Networks and make it a separate company, after concerns of growing bigger even though ATBW Blog companies (the ones owned by ATBW Blog are merely as big as popular YouTube Channels). It was completed anyway on September 17, 2019, with two new companies; ATBW Holdings LLC and Langile Holdings LLC with the latter acquiring all of LMD's other assets including Warren Langile Media, Warren Langile Entertainment, Warren Langile Mediaworks, and Eric Broadcasting System, etc. The last ATBW film under the Langile Mediaworks era was Celo Johnson Dirt Bike Legends: An Escade Mission on September 14, 2019.

ATBW Holdings Era (2019 - Present)
Since September 17, 2019, ATBW Label Networks ceased operations as a separate company and became a division of ATBW Holdings LLC, which themselves are not involved in production or distribution of any media, films, or consumer products, but are instead in charge of overseeing them. As a result, three new divisions were formed, including ATBW Web Engineering, which holds ATBW Blog and PBLOG. These include all ATBW Blog Companies owned by ATBW Blog, game publishing assets moved over to ATBW Game Development, and consumer assets moved to ATBW Consumer Branding. Media and film assets would remain within ATBW Label Networks.

It's eventual ATBW+ streaming service on November 10, 2019 is now operated under its web division, alongside many other platforms. ATBW's other twin Langile Holdings LLC would eventually launch Langile Pictures in December 2019, which makes and distributes their own library of films, which target similar audiences MGM today does.

Into 2020, CCTV Productions, which has owned three subsidiaries acquired more, including Central Comedies on January 17, 2020. It also eventually launched CCTV Network on March 5, 2020, which since then has transferred all of its animations exclusively to the network, which was initially launched as a cable channel, but was instead released exclusively onto ATBW+ during its final stage as broadcasting a cable network would be somewhat difficult.

CCTV Productions eventually also had to deal with the Caltrose25V5 ransomware that was installed on March 26, 2020 by two hackers, which greatly affected the gameplay of online servers. The company however was unaware of it until March 30, 2020. The malware spawned two bots, which were given 80% speed, and would make any other player 70% slower. It eventually exploded into popularity throughout ATBW Blog and social media in April, and the malware itself eventually led to the Caltrose25V5 Recession and the Caltrose25V5 Protests, which would last considerably throughout the month of April of 2020. It was still able to acquire Revolver Media on April 15, 2020, which itself was unaffected. The malware eventually started to decline sharply on April 25, 2020 and came to a complete end on May 3, 2020, with the hackers being arrested on May 13, 2020.

Seychelle Woods and her sister and mother would eventually become famous on May 21, 2020 after a viral news article and both got a reality show Hanging With Seychelle, which currently airs on CCTV Network.

On July 29, 2021, Takash Puterr announced that the retail operations of ATBW would be moved to a separate company, which was completed on February 20, 2022 under the name Zippy Holdings LLC. ATBW Blog (along with all owned companies) and PBLOG would also be spun off to PBLOG Group on April 20, 2022 though ATBW Pictures will still continue to distribute their content.
