ATBW Holdings LLC

ATBW Holdings LLC is a multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate that owns ATBW Label Networks and other assets established on September 17, 2019 as a result of the ATBW Langile Split after Langile Mediaworks Division was split into two companies, with ATBW Holdings being the official successor, while the new Langile Holdings LLC is an entirely separate company.

As of March 3, 2020, Escade Corporation split in two, with ATBW owning escade franchises; shows, movies, games, stores, and other franchising consumer divisions, with non franchising escade companies being moved to another company made by them for their own use.

In February 2021, Takash Puterr took the position of serving as the company's CEO, and was ATBW's first CEO not to be part of the Langile family, but the Langile family will retain their ownership of the company and Eric Langile III will remain as the Chairman of the company alongside Langile Holdings LLC, and will still continue to fully own both companies until his death.

On February 20, 2022, all of the company's consumer assets were spun off to a new company Zippy Holdings LLC, which manages all of its former consumer goods and retail assets as well as its logistics businesses (excludes ATBW Blog ones). At the same time, it also acquired Escade Family Division, which succeeded Escade Group, and the company now controls the division, and the company also bought Langile Consumer Holdings, Eric Consumer Holdings and AEL Air Conditioners, all three of which were from the former Langile Consumer Branding.

On April 20, 2022, the company also spun off PBLOG and ATBW Blog into a separate company and formed PBLOG Group, which quickly became a tech company at the end of that year.

History
Initially announced by Eric Langile III on July 3, 2019, the announcement became public by Langile Mediaworks Division on July 21, 2019 after confirming it. The company was split into ATBW Holdings LLC and Langile Holdings LLC on September 17, 2019. ATBW Holdings would be the new parent company for ATBW Label Network and became Langile Mediaworks Division's successor as its parent while Langile Holdings was an entirely separate company with no affiliation in ATBW even though both companies would operate under Langile Family ownership, both having 50% voting power for both companies and Eric Langile III owning 20% of both.

ATBW Label Networks would become a division of the company while still maintaining its power as if it was a separate company. ATBW Holdings released ATBW+ on November 10, 2019 and holds all of ATBW's owned franchises on it.

Forward into 2020, ATBW Holdings began getting more successful than its rivals and was ranked the third largest media conglomerate. Only The Walt Disney Company (2nd) and Comcast (1st) outrank them in terms of size. While smaller and less powerful than The Walt Disney Company, ATBW Holdings owns more TV networks that they've acquired during the Langile Corporation era and the Langile Mediaworks Division Era and they make more money.

On March 5, 2020 following the release of CCTV Network from CCTV Productions, which was acquired by ATBW Blog on December 22, 2018, ATBW Holdings released the network onto ATBW+, and many other ATBW Blog companies that are owned by ATBW Blog as subsidiaries started to join in and release their own individual networks to the platform. ATBW Holdings on March 8, 2020 also announced the release of the ATBW Viewer, which will be home to the ATBW Blog networks.

On June 2, 2020, ATBW Holdings announced that they would move all of their networks except for CLP Network and CLP Stations LLC over to ATBW+, though on September 14, 2020 they announced that they would be moved over to the ATBW Viewer system instead as ATBW+ is a streaming service. All channels except CLP Networks and CLP Stations LLC were shut down on January 30, 2021.

On July 27, 2020, ATBW Holdings signed a joint venture deal with Langile Consumer Holdings, which succeeded Langile Consumer Branding on September 18, 2013 after its breakup, which will help make air conditioning units for ATBW Theme Parks.

On September 27, 2020, Escade Corporation shut off all of its networks following the ATBW Network Migration that was made by ATBW Holdings, and all networks from ATBW TV Holdings were shut off on September 30, 2020. All of its other networks except CLP Network shut off on January 30, 2021 following the full transfer of ATBW's networks onto the ATBW Viewer. Only CLP Network and CLP Stations LLC remain in operation on cable and antenna television, all of ATBW's other networks are exclusive only to the ATBW Viewer.

On January 30, 2021, All of ATBW's networks except CLP Network and CLP Stations LLC were transitioned onto the ATBW Viewer following the ATBW Network Migration that began on June 2, 2020.

On July 29, 2021, Takash Puterr announced that ATBW Store and Zippy Land would be placed under separate management, which was established on February 20, 2022. Zippy Holdings LLC was the successor to ATBW's retail business, which would include both chains as well as Zippy Land Essentials, their distribution centers, headquarters, and subsidiaries including Ozone Speakers. Alyssa Escade also announced her intent to sell Escade Family Division to that separate company.

On August 25, 2021, Puterr also announced that he would spin-off ATBW Blog and PBLOG under a new holding company, though this was later cancelled due to criticism mostly from major ATBW Blog companies, including the eleven that are owned under ATBW Blog, as they have helped them to create money and profit from competitors. It was announced again on March 7, 2022 and it is slated to be separated by April 20.

On September 27, 2021 after prolonged arguments between them and Baard Corporation, as well as issues with ESPN, ATBW sold EAPL Inc back to Baard Corporation and launched CLP Sportsnet to avoid further confrontations. On that same day, BTV Networks was changed to Braxton Networks, and RTV Network was changed to Radio Network. All networks with BTV were changed to Braxton, and the second incarnation of Comedy Humor was changed to Action Comedy.

On February 20, 2022, the company casted most of its consumer brands under a separate company. Zippy Holdings LLC was formed and it is the successor to the company's former consumer goods division and owns ATBW Store, Zippy Land, and Pido's Pizza Place LLC, along with related divisions of their respective brands. However, the oldest ATBW Store from December 1962, as well as the other two in ATBW City and at ATBW Theme Parks are still owned by ATBW Holdings LLC, and the pre-2022 films from Pido's Pizza Place the company had distributed still remain under their ownership. At the same time, the newly formed company also acquired Escade Family Division, AEL Air Conditioners, Langile Consumer Holdings, and Eric Consumer Holdings, and LCH was merged into ECH.

On April 20, 2022, ATBW Holdings sold ATBW Blog (along with its subsidiaries), and PBLOG into another newly formed company PBLOG Group, which is now under ownership of the Blessen Family since September 2022.

ATBW Antitrust Lawsuit
On December 3, 2020, ATBW Holdings LLC was fined $250,000,000 for violating anti-trust laws after it's substantial acquisition of H Corporation as well as attempting to buy more media companies, plus an additional $50,000 dollars for damages to its subsidiaries, making a total worth $250,050,000 in fines. The government attempted to block ATBW's acquisition of H Corporation as they already own several other media companies including WN Networks Group, Escade Corporation, Lifeworks Inc., and Tom Entertainment. As a result of this lawsuit, ATBW Holdings sold Tom Entertainment to Langile Holdings LLC to avoid further problems. On July 29, 2021, ATBW Store and Zippy Land, as well as other assets under their respective divisions would be sold to Zippy Holdings LLC when it forms in 2022, which effectively puts an end to the company's 59 year history of its retail business. At that same time, entrepreneur Alyssa Escade also wanted to sell Escade Family Division to it even though it is not part of ATBW. CCTV Gift Shop will be sold to Doju Group and Pido's Pizza Place would also be sold to Zippy Holdings, though the pre-2021 movies would remain under ATBW ownership. The oldest ATBW Store from December 1962, as well as the one in ATBW City and ATBW Theme Parks would remain under ATBW ownership as well, according to puterr.
