Television shows are usually not directly owned by a particular channel, although once they have a contract to air the show they often have some creative control of it. The only exception is first-run syndicated shows that are owned entirely by the production company and distributed to individual stations, regardless of their network affiliation. At other times a show might be owned and produced by a specific network but the rights to air it were bought out by another network. It's a complicated business where all that matters sometimes is the bottom line.
Just like sports teams, there are many reasons for a show to switch from one place to another.
Contract Buy-Outs: The show is exceptionally popular and when a contract expires two or more channels bid for new seasons.
Vindicated by History: The ratings weren't high enough on one channel so they didn't renew it for a new season. Another channel grabbed the show up (sometimes after a move to reruns in syndication) and it moved over.
And just like the trope, it may be poorly performing on one channel while on another channel it skyrockets in popularity. Of course, a 3.5 rating on ABC is cancel-worthy; a 3.5 rating on USA is cause for celebration.
Behind-the-Scenes Politics: Waning interest in the show and a network makes a great offer, sometimes a package deal with a selection of other shows.
Vertical Integration: Certain shows are saved only because their production companies happen to be under common ownership with another network. Shows produced by an in-house company can be sold to other networks for their airtime, thus the hop is more of a "coming home."
Note that this only counts new episodes; else, the sheer number of places they've shown Looney Tunes reruns would make the page overflow. Channels calling episodes "premieres" when they know full well that they originally aired somewhere else are telling you Blatant Lies — slightly more honest ones might use the Weasel Words "network premiere".
See also Franchise Ownership Acquisition for a related concept, which in some cases results in a Channel Hop.

Five Nights at Freddy's Dares/Asks (Zero2zero 2) was originally uploaded on Zero2zero 2's YouTube channel but because of her quitting the platform in late-2021 to focus on Real Life, the series ended up moving to the M8's Animations channel from Dare 6 onwards.

Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon jumped from Sony Computer Entertainment to Vivendi Universal Games (later simply Vivendi Games), who later released the game through their subsidiary Sierra. The rights then went to Activision after the company was merged with Vivendi Games to form Activision Blizzard. However, Sony never owned the rights to either franchise to begin with as the IP was completely owned by Universal Interactive before being fully owned by Universal's former parent Vivendi after the latter company was split from Universal, with Universal leaving its gaming and music division with Vivendi following financial-issues over mismanagement under the short-lived merger.

Miracleman (formerly Marvelman) is a famously complicated example. He started off in the '50s at L. Miller & Son before being revived by Quality Communications in the '80s. He was then licensed out to Eclipse Comics, before that publisher folded (as had Quality), and floated around in limbo for years. Todd McFarlane tried to bring the character into the Image Comics universe, but legal issues prevented this from happening. Marvel Comics supposedly has the rights as of now, and have reprinted some of Miracleman's original 50's stories, but it is unclear whether or not they have rights to the Quality and Eclipse material (which featured legendary work from Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman).
Marvel has started reprinting the Alan Moore stories, although the writer is now credited to "The Original Writer".

Monster Hunter spent five years exclusive to Sony platforms before the development team chose to release Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) on the Wii, due to the high cost of developing games for the PlayStation 3 at the time. While Monster Hunter Portable 3rd would be released on the PlayStation Portable and receive a port for the aforementioned PS3, the next seven years of main series games were primarily released on the Nintendo 3DSnote Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate had a Wii U port as well, though the system's lack of popularity killed the possibility of future ports to the system. The official logline is that they simply wanted to reach a wider audience over the Play Station Vita, with fans assuming it actually concerned them butting heads with Sony over Portable 3rdnote the planned localization of the PS3 port had been vetoed by Sony of America due to their desire to have trophies implemented and Capcom's desire to get the US Ad-Hoc Network updated so the game would have online play, a very important feature in many Western countries due to the fanbase being more spread out than in the series' native Japan. As of Monster Hunter: World the series has gone Multiplatform.

Care Bears: Originally started out on Kenner. Executive Meddling involving forcing the Green Aesop down people's throat among other things note i.e. dropping some of the cousins and changing the remaining ones into bears caused the toys to lose popularity in the late 90s, and the license was sold to Play-Along Toys in 1999, who managed to salvage the franchise and bring it back to profitability. Then Hasbro managed to pry the license out of Play-Along's hands in late 2007. Hasbro proceeded to treat the franchise poorly note Launching a TV series only in 2012, and it took until 2013 for the toys to appear. Some also speculated that the unexpected rise of popularity in another one of their franchises, along with its extremely vocal fanbase, was another cause of this. When the show wasn't renewed for a second season in 2013, it displeased American Greetings, who then revoked Hasbro's license and sold it to a company called Just Play Inc.

Many of the current and former contributors to Channel Awesome, including Doug Walker himself, started out on YouTube. In Walker's case, he was driven to create the site because YouTube started removing his videos due to copyright issues. In 2012, Doug, Brad, Lindsay, and Todd came back to YouTube with the help of Blip on the League of SuperCritics channel. However, various issues as the years went on led to respective dissolutions surrounding Blip's 2015 shutdown. The contributors moved onto their own individual channels: Channel Awesome, Stoned Gremlin Productions, Lindsay Ellis, and Todd in the Shadows.

The Simpsons figures started out with Mattel in the early-90s. In 1999, the license went to Playmates Toys, who released the hugely successful World of Springfield series. Playmates' license expired in 2004, and the rights briefly went to McFarlane Toys for a period before NECA released a set of figures for the 25th Anniversary in 2014-15.

Rush switched to Atlantic Records from Mercury Records for U.S. and international distribution with Presto in 1989. In 2011, they switched to Roadrunner Records for the remainder of their career. In Canada, they released their debut on Moon Records, which led to their deal with Mercury. The band then moved to Anthem, where they stayed until their breakup, though Anthem itself switched distribution several times, from Polydor to Capitol, to Sony, to Universal.

Leisure Suit Larry began as a Sierra franchise, until it was sold to Codemasters (who picked up and released Box Office Bust) after Sierra's fall due to the higher-ups at Activision not being interested in the IP. The other Sierra franchises are retained by Activision. Sierra also dropped Ghostbusters: The Video Game in the process, only for Atari to acquire that game a few months later.

Arthur has saw this happen to its toy license. The license originally belonged to Playskool, but then passed on to Eden Toys after just a short stint. When Eden Toys went defunct, it passed on to a little-known company called Crocodile Creek and has remained since.

The Escapist was both the channel that several works hopped on and then hopped off of a few times in its existence:
Zero Punctuation started out very briefly as a series of YouTube reviews before getting picked up by The Escapist as a proper series in 2007, lasting all the way until 2023. In late 2023, creator Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw would resign from The Escapist (for reasons mentioned below), relaunching the review show as Fully Ramblomatic (which was the very original, pre-release title of the series, done due to Yahtzee not owning the rights to Zero Punctuation) as part of Second Wind.
Extra Credits was briefly an independent series before being picked up and airing as part of The Escapist, but they left following the site cutting out the funding for the series, moving back to YouTube briefly before ending up on Penny Arcade's PATV. After that, they got their own website with their videos hosted on their YouTube channel, and now the website is mostly defunct and content is split between two YouTube channels ExtraCredits and Extra Play.
Jimquisition started out on Destructoid before being syndicated by The Escapist. In 2014, Jim Sterling left The Escapist as well to make their show completely ad-free by funding it through Patreon.
In November 2023, all of the site's video content producers resigned in solidarity following the sudden firing of editor-in-chief Nick Calandra. Most of them — including Cold Take with Sebastian "Frost" Ruiz and In the Frame with Darren Mooney — immigrated to Second Wind, a newly-formed creator-owned site spearheaded by Yahtzee and Calandra as a new platform for former Escapist staff.
Adventure Is Nigh — an Actual Play series involving various Escapist talent — was left in a brief limbo following the mass resignation, with Yahtzee and Calandra going on record following Second Wind's debut that they were still negotiating obtaining the rights to the series. In December 2023, they announced that they were successful, with the series set to continue on their channel, also including their backlog (two completed seasons and an in-progress third season) set to be reuploaded on their account.

Ready 2 Rumble Boxing and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 were published by Midway, but Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution was published by Atari due to Midway's bankruptcy. Unlike the first two games, Revolution is a Continuity Reboot and therefore doesn't feature any of the franchise's original characters as Atari doesn't own them.

Puppy In My Pocket and the other In My Pocket series are a rather funny case. The toyline has always been owned by Morrison Entertainment Group (MEG), though when it came to distribution it was tossed around different companies like a game of hot potato over the years. First, Hasbro had the rights to distributing the figurines in the 90s, then it was passed to Jakks Pacific in the early 2000s after a rebrand that turned the figurines into more cartoonish-looking, cute pets with flocking. In 2010, when the show, Puppy in My Pocket: Adventures in Pocketville, started airing in Europe and eventually made its way to US networks in 2012, the rights were split between Giochi Preziosi, who distributed their own line among European countries (including the UK), Flair, who distributed a completely different style of figurines for the UK markets, and Jakks Pacific continued with its US distribution (the figurines being the same as Flair's), though the figurines based on the show didn't make it to US markets until 2013 due to an unfortunate delay. Then in 2015, Just Play acquired the rights to distributing the toys.

Interesting example with the Far Cry series. The series started off with the first installment being made by Crytek Studios and Ubisoft with Crytek's proprietary CryEngine. However, after the first game, due to a deal with Electronic Arts, Crytek parted ways with Ubisoft and went on to make the Crysis series. Ubisoft kept the Far Cry trademark and continued the franchise, producing Far Cry 2 and the very popular Far Cry 3. The non-Crytek installments of the Far Cry series, as well as the Classic remake of the first game, are rendered in Ubisoft's own proprietary Dunia Engine.

The Rainbow Brite toy license originated with Mattel, who held it at the height of the franchise's popularity in the mid-1980s. After a long hiatus, in 1997 a small, obscure company called Up Up & Away gained the license and attempted to relaunch the franchise, but their attempt wasn't successful. In 2003, another obscure company named ToyPlay gained the license, releasing a range of toys that closely matched the original Mattel designs. In 2009, Playmates acquired the license and attempted another relaunch, which also was unsuccessful. Later on in the mid-to-late-2010s, the property's owner Hallmark released their own range of toys for the franchise, including plushies and themed Itty Bittys. In 2023, TLS Toy, a division of collectible company The Loyal Subjects, acquired the license.

Ryuichi Sakamoto's work is scattered across a huge amount of labels, so much so that it plays a big role in why the majority of his discography is stuck in Keep Circulating the Tapes purgatory (Sakamoto is known for many things as an artist, and commercial success is not one of them outside his soundtrack releases).
In Japan, Sakamoto's work bounced between Better Days Records, Alfa Records (due to his contract as a member of Yellow Magic Orchestra), School Records, Midi Inc, Terrapin Records, Virgin Records, Güt Records, and Warner Music Group before finally settling on his vanity label, Commmons (note the three M's). Sony Music would inherit the rights to a good chunk of Sakamoto's back-catalog in Japan, making it easier to keep his earlier albums in print.
Internationally, Sakamoto's catalog has changed hands even more frequently, shifting from Island Records, Epic Records, 10 Records, CBS Records, Virgin Records, Elektra Records, Milan Records, KAB America, and Decca Records, in many cases hopping back and forth between previous labels (for instance, Neo Geo was distributed by Epic in the US after being away from them since Left Handed Dream six years prior, while Milan has handled most of Sakamoto's international releases in The New '10s after briefly distributing his work in the mid-'90s).

Toys based on the Disney Princess and Frozen franchises were held by Mattel for several years, before Disney sold the licenses to Hasbro, with their starting in 2016. This article actually goes quite in depth on how they got their hands on the license, as well as some history involving the franchise.
It seems like Hasbro's time with the license didn't last, as the rights are going back to Mattel in 2023.

Hoo boy, Sparks. The Mael brothers' idiosyncratic style has scared off record labels left and right, with their initial deal with Bearsville, the vanity label from Todd Rundgren distributed by Warner Bros., ending after only two albums. Yet, their gigantic popularity in Europe led to stints on respected mini-major labels there such as Island (where their highly successful Kimono My House made them superstars), Virgin, Oasis (owned by Giorgio Moroder), Carrere, and Logic. In the US, they seemed to hop from album to album after their deal with Bearsville ended, with their homes including Island’s fledgling US division, Columbia, Elektra, Atlantic, Curb (with distribution by MCA), Rhino, Roadrunner, Oglio, Palm (founded by Island founder Chris Blackwell), Artful, their own vanity label Lil' Beethoven, and In The Red. The masters for much of their output after their stint on Island remain with them, and they recently signed a deal with the new incarnation of BMG for worldwide distribution. Their supergroup with Franz Ferdinand, FFS, released on that band’s label Domino. And if that wasn’t enough, the soundtrack to their documentary The Sparks Brothers was released by Universal Music Group, the soundtrack to their film Annette went to respected soundtrack label Milan (owned by Sony since 2019), and they returned to Island again in 2023 for This Girl Is Crying In Their Latte.

The Dennis the Menace (US) comic book ran from 1953 until 1982 under several different publishers. The series started with Standard Comics. Standard folded in 1956, although the comic did continue for another two years under the Pines Comics label. Fawcett Comics then took over the rights and published Dennis until 1980. During this time, reprints were published by Haliden and CBS Publishing. Hank Ketcham then sold the rights to Marvel Comics for a short-lived run in the early 80s. Dennis was also adapted as Dennis and the Bible Kids in 1977, published by Word Books, Inc. (now HarperCollins).

Command & Conquer went from Westwood Studios to EA Games, and some were not too happy about it. It is questionable if this one counts, however, since EA bought over Westwood and proceeded to screw with it, and when Command and Conquer 4 tanked, EA shut down Westwood but was reluctant to let the franchise go.

Infamously the case with Final Fantasy. While developed by Squaresoft (now Square Enix), the first six installments in the series were produced and released exclusively for Nintendo consoles, along with related spinoffs and gaiden games. However, when developing Final Fantasy VII, Squaresoft concluded that the CD-based technology that the PlayStation ran on benefitted the game much more than the cartridge-based technology of the Nintendo 64. The result was an acrimonious breakup between Nintendo and Squaresoft that lasted for several years, while every installment from VII until XII remained exclusive to Sony platforms. Then the series went Multiplatform with Final Fantasy XIII, likely due to the poor sales of the PlayStation 3 in North America compared to that of the Xbox 360. As of 2020, the first twelve games are all available on various platforms, with VII finally seeing a release on a Nintendo platform in 2019 via the Nintendo Switch, and Final Fantasy VII Remake only being a timed exclusive for the PlayStation 4, as opposed to a full one.

MGMT are an interesting case that occurred within a single album. The band were originally signed to RED Ink Records, a small-scale imprint founded by Sony Music and RED Distribution, and released Oracular Spectacular through them. When the album proved to be a cult hit, in part due to its aggressive advance promotion, the band were moved over to Sony's main label, Columbia Records, who gave the record a wider release. The band would continue to put out subsequent material through Columbia.
In a similar vein, Passion Pit released their first EP Chunk of Change through a RED-distributed independent label, Frenchkiss Records. When "Sleepyhead" and "Little Secrets" became big hits on the indie circuit, they hopped to Columbia for their debut album Manners.

The Cure were originally signed to Fiction Records, a sublabel of Polydor Records, who distributed their material worldwide. In 1982, they cut a North American deal with A&M Records, which lasted all of one album before the band went on hiatus; when they returned, they hopped over to Sire Records in the region, which also lasted only one album before the band moved to Sire's sister label, Elektra Recordsnote Elektra would inherit the rights to Pornography from A&M in 1988, while Sire maintains ownership of The Top to this day. The Fiction/Elektra arrangement would last all the way until 2000, after which they moved over to Geffen Records worldwidenote The Cure was co-distributed by co-producer Ross Robinson's I Am imprint outside the US, while 4:13 Dream was co-distributed by Suretone Records worldwide.

Aleste was originally a Compile series before Compile would go under. 20 years later, M2 obtained the rights to the series and produced three new Aleste games: GG Aleste 3: Last Messiah, Aleste Branch, and Senjin Aleste. They also put out a Compilation Rerelease featuring four of the Compile-era games and GGA3, and ported M.U.S.H.A. to the Nintendo Switch as part of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack's Sega Genesis library (the rest of which was also ported by M2).

The comic book tie-in to Mego's Micronauts toyline changed publishers as the toys themselves changed ownership. Mego originally licensed the IP to Marvel, who published a Micronauts comic book that was famous for crossing over with Marvel's other titles and running long after the original toyline went defunct.note Marvel retained the rights to characters that were created explicitly for the Micronauts comic after the rights expired, but could only reuse the characters under new team name the Microns. In 2002, Image Comics was given the license to produce a short-lived comic book series when they obtained the license from then-rights holder Abrams Gentile Entertainment. After the rights to Micronauts ultimately ended up in the hands of Hasbro and they gave the license to IDW Publishing as they did with most of their other properties, yet another comic was published, which, like IDW's take on ROM, was part of the Hasbro Comic Universe.

Many video reviewers changed their video providers several times: Usually starting at YouTube, they'd bounce to Revver, Blip, Springboard, Maker, Screenwave, Vessel, and Vidme, many, if not all, shut down as of December 2017. Doug Walker's current non-YouTube host is Vimeo, after losing Blip and the latter three in a 28-month span.
Brad Jones ended up with a weird compromise: The Cinema Snob started releasing his reviews of Parallel Porn Titles on Pornhub to bypass how YouTube got less acceptive to even mentions of objectionable content.

Twilight Syndrome was initially developed and published by Human Entertainment, but after the company's closure in 2000, ownership of the series was passed on to a subsidiary of Spike Chunsoft which was largely staffed by former HUMAN employees. Coincidentally, out of the sparse number of official releases for the series, Kinjirareta Toshi Densetsu is the only game to have been released for the Nintendo DS rather than the PlayStation.

Aerosmith started their career on Columbia Records. As their career started to dwindle on the early 80s, the label dropped them, so when they started Putting the Band Back Together, they signed with Geffen Records. The Career Resurrection that followed was enough for Columbia to sign them back in 1996. Beginning in 2022, Aerosmith's entire catalogue will be re-released by Universal Music Group, which owns Geffen.

Queen:
Greatest Flix underwent this before release due to the controversial Warner Home Video Rental Drive of '81, being released by Picture Music International through Thorn EMI Video (whose parent company, EMI, distributed their records in the UK), instead of by WEA (who distributed them in the USA) as was originally planned.
In the UK, Queen were originally signed to EMI until 1989, when they moved to the Parlophone Records sublabel. Parlophone would inherit the band's catalog outside of North America until 2011, when the band and their catalog moved over to Island Records under a more lucrative contract. After EMI dissolved in 2012, its assets were divided between Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group, Island's parent company; Universal would subsequently put out "new" releases through Virgin EMI Records. In 2020, Virgin EMI was rebranded as a revival of EMI, thus putting Queen's music back where it first started.
In the US and Canada, Queen signed to Elektra Records and WEA and released their music under those labels until 1984's The Works, when they moved to Capitol Records (an EMI subsidiary), taking the rights to their backlog with them, as a result of the Warner Home Video Rental Drive and Elektra's wariness towards the disco sound on Hot Space. That deal would go on until 1990, when the band signed a new deal with Disney's Hollywood Records (which just so happened to be distributed by Elektra until 1995, when Polygram, and later Universal, took over), taking their back catalog with them. Now, Universal distributes Queen's music worldwide. These deals also encompass Queen members' solo output; perhaps most amusingly, Freddie's solo work has been rereleased by none other than Mercury Records.

In Canada Pokémon: The Series originally aired on YTV starting in 1998 and stayed there until 2014. When Corus Entertainment got full ownership of Teletoon that year, the show moved to that channel where it stayed since. For the French version of the show, it originally aired on the French Teletoon, but Pokemon: Master Quest aired on another channel, TQS, instead. After they dropped the show, it wouldn't get a French dub again until X and Y, where it returned to the French Teletoon and has stayed there since. It should be noted that YTV still occasionally airs the show for special events.

Yello have hopped between multiple labels over the years. They put out their debut single, "I.T. Splash", through indie label Periphery Perfume before signing with Vertigo Records in continental Europe, Ralph Records in the US, and Do It Records in the UK. In 1983, they moved over to Elektra Records in the US and Stiff Records in the UK; in 1985, they moved over to Elektra in the UK as well. Vertigo's sister label, Mercury Records, bought out Yello's US & UK contracts that same year, resulting in both them and Elektra releasing their own editions of Stella simultaneously. Shortly after, they moved over to Mercury worldwide, briefly hopping onto Fontana Records for Flag. Yello stayed on Mercury for the remainder of the 20th century in the UK & Europe, while in the US they moved over to sister label 4th & Broadway in the mid-'90s. Afterwards, the band put out The Eye through Motor Records (in conjunction with Radikal Records in the US) before moving over to Polydor Records, where they remain to this day.

Genesis were originally signed onto Decca Records, a deal which lasted all of one album before the band were dropped due to it underperforming. They would then sign with Charisma Records in the UK and Impulse! Records in the US, the latter of which also lasted all of one album before having Charisma distribute them on both sides of the Pond. In the UK, they would stay on Charisma until its 1986 absorption by Virgin Records, onto whom the band would move. In the US, meanwhile, Genesis would sign onto Atco Records in 1974 before moving onto their parent label, Atlantic Records, after the departure of Steve Hackett. Atlantic would inherit the US rights to the 1971-1973 albums as a result.

Strawberry Shortcake: Originally started out on Kenner like Care Bears, but then eventually lost steam due to neglect of the franchise. The license was sold to Bandai in the early 2000s, who like Play-Along managed to bring the series back to profitability. Then executive meddling happened and the license went from Bandai to Playmates Toys. The decision by Playmates to revamp the franchise note Namely, aging the girls up, deleting the established and loved fillies and replacing them with bland generic ones, and bring back the purple Pie-Man had a negative effect on the fanbase. Coupled with the poor availability of the toys due to distribution issues, the franchise started to collapse. The rights were then revoked and sold to Hasbro (which happened at the same time as Play-Along losing the rights to Care Bears to also Hasbro), who while initially gave the series excellent treatment, started to slide because the toys weren't moving note moving the cartoon series from Disney to Cartoon Network in Asia, Europe, and Oceania- who then proceeded to air them on CN's sister channel Boomerang instead- wasn't a smart move due to said channel being unavailable in several countries, although some speculated that like the Care Bears example above, the unexpected rise of another one of their franchises and its extremely vocal fandom was another cause of this. Additionally, Hasbro made an announcement that they will be purging all non-fruit-themed characters from the franchise, and proceeded to list the names of characters that have been purged — which angered fans of Ginger Snap, Angel Cake, and Apple Dumplin' (which was ironically used as a spokeslady for selling fresh apples back in 2003). Lastly, memories of the 2003 series were still fresh in the fandom's mind (DVD releases of the 2003 series dragged on until 2012, and are in fact still available on demand from several outlets), and they want their beloved characters, pets and fillies back. This had a net result of the rights being revoked at around the same time as the Care Bears'. The rights was then given to an upstart called Bridge Direct, which had limited distribution coverage, before the rights settled with Moose Toys in 2021. And on a higher level, American Greetings sold the rights to Strawberry Shortcake to Iconix Brands in April 2015 (this was noticeable since all pictures posted to social networks around the time of the sale have the copyright of "SBSC" (Strawberry Shortcake Holdings, an Iconix company) instead of "TCFC" (Those Characters From Cleveland, an American Greetings company)), before Iconix sold its entertainment division, including the rights to the Strawberry Shortcake franchise, to WildBrain in 2017.

Teddy Ruxpin was first made by Worlds of Wonder from 1985-1991. When they went bankrupt, Hasbro, under their Playskool banner, distributed the version that Worlds of Wonder had introduced three years prior (Hasbro were also the first choice to release the toy before WoW, but declined). Yes! Entertainment made a version of toy in 1998, followed by Backpack Toys and Wicked Cool Toys, who currently owns the rights.

Mike Oldfield was originally signed to Virgin Records as their first artist. Virgin distributed his work worldwide (including through Atlantic Records for most territories for the first release of Tubular Bells), save for a brief period in 1980-1982 where he was licensed out to Epic Records in the US, encompassing QE2, Five Miles Out, and a reissue of Tubular Bells. Thanks to his relationship with the label growing increasingly strained over the years, Oldfield jumped ship to WEA in Europe and Reprise Records in the States as soon as his contract was completed in 1991. He would remain on the labels until 2003, when he moved over to Mercury Records, then went back to Virgin in 2014 during its stint as "Virgin EMI," having reconciled with CEO Richard Branson. Oldfield would then be shifted over to EMI when the label was revived in 2020.

Zero Punctuation started out very briefly as a series of YouTube reviews before getting picked up by The Escapist as a proper series in 2007, lasting all the way until 2023. In late 2023, creator Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw would resign from The Escapist (for reasons mentioned below), relaunching the review show as Fully Ramblomatic (which was the very original, pre-release title of the series, done due to Yahtzee not owning the rights to Zero Punctuation) as part of Second Wind.

The Transformers (Marvel) and its successor Transformers: Generation 2 were originally published by Marvel Comics from 1984 to 1994, with trade paperbacks released by Titan Books in 2001. In 2002, a young and relatively unknown Canadian comic studio called Dreamwave Productions (originally formed as part of Image Comics) obtained the license to make new Transformers comics, with their flagship title Transformers: Generation One (a reboot not connected to Marvel's comics) accompanied by adaptations of the then-new Transformers: Armada and Transformers: Energon toylines.

Chicago released its albums first through Columbia Records, where they would thrive for more than a decade until 1980's Chicago XIV. After their release from Columbia the following year, Chicago then signed a joint record deal with Full Moon Records and Warner (Bros.) Records to release Chicago 16, and they would stay in both labels (though they were transferred to Warner sister label Reprise starting with Chicago 19) until Twenty 1 in 1991. After a one-album deal with Giant Records in 1995, the band went indie, and in the process reacquired their Columbia output from Sony Music Entertainment under a legal settlement. The band then signed with Warner-owned Rhino Records, sending their Columbia albums to them in the process, for eight years before deciding to go indie again in 2011.

Wolfenstein was originally created by Muse Software, who developed Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein. After Muse Software was shut down in 1987, the rights to the series were purchased by id Software, who developed Wolfenstein 3-D. Later games in the series were developed by Gray Matter Interactive and Raven Software, but still published by id, with Activision being its distributor. After id was acquired by ZeniMax Media in 2009, Bethesda Softworks took over as publisher and MachineGames as developer.

As with Transformers, the comic book license to G.I. Joe has changed a few times.
Marvel Comics published the first comic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel) as well as the spinoff series G.I. Joe: Special Missions, the four-issue miniseries G.I. Joe: Order of Battle and the annual publication G.I. Joe Yearbook.
Dark Horse Comics published a short-lived comic book tie-in to G.I. Joe Extreme.
Devil's Due Publishing eventually acquired the comic book license and made a continuation of the Marvel Comics continuity that was initially published by Image Comics before Devil's Due seceded and published the comic themselves. They also published a comic for G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 and an Ultimate Universe take titled G.I. Joe: Reloaded.
IDW Publishing picked up the license after the end of Devil's Due Publishing's tenure and released a comic set in its own continuity as well as a continuation of the Marvel Comics continuity that ignored the events of the Devil's Due series.

Originally Robotbox and Cactus was hosted on keentoons.com, along with a mirror at corporate-product.com. The latter was then moved to eatthattoast.com, where the webcomic of a similar name and Hot Ham Water were also eventually hosted. The animated cartoons stayed on eatthattoast.com until the site changed to Tumblr format to host only the comic. Meanwhile, as the keentoons subdomain expired, the main Keenspot website took up the mantle of hosting Robotbox and Hot Ham Water.

When soundtrack albums are expanded, they're not always on the same label that put out the original - examples are legion, like Jay Chattaway's Invasion U.S.A. (1985) (originally released on LP in 1985 by Varèse Sarabande in North America and Milan internationally; Intrada later issued the complete score in 2008).
