The company subsequently set up a deal with 20th Century Fox in 1993.[3] In 1996, 3 Arts made an alliance with CBS and Sony Pictures to launch 3 Arts Television which was dissolved by the end of the following year when it failed to produce any primetime television projects for the network.[4] In 1999, 3 Arts Television was relaunched by NBC Studios executive David Bartis with a pact at Fox.[5]
