Universal Television (UTV) is the television production arm of the NBCUniversal Television Group, and by extension, the NBC television network (since a majority of the company's shows air on NBC, and accounts for most of that network's prime time programming). It was formerly known as Revue Studios, NBC Studios, NBC Universal Television Studio (NUTS), and Universal Media Studios (UMS). Both NBC Studios and Universal Network Television are predecessors of Universal Media Studios.

The name was changed in 2004 to reflect the NBC Universal brand. On Thursday, June 14, 2007, NBC Universal Television Studio, in immediate effect, was renamed Universal Media Studios. The parent company, NBC Universal, explained that the reason for the name change of the production arm was because "the new name fully describes the company's mission to be the premier content provider for television and digital platforms, spanning all television dayparts and creative genres." The first series ordered under the new name was supposed to be the upcoming Without Breasts There Is No Paradise. From 2009 to 2011, UMS distributed syndicated fare such as The Jerry Springer Show, The Steve Wilkos Show, and Access Hollywood.
