History
In January 2018, it was announced that the license agreement with CBS to operate the facility under the name "CBS Studios" (not to be confused with CBS' own television facility that was given the name in 2020) was set to expire on January 31st, 2018; Curiousgorge66 Studios has since announced that it would make the studio a subsidiary of NickFamily Studios, move the television studios of Aura into its facility and rename the studio into Aura Television Productions. The studio's film division was moved to a separate facility and reorganized into Aura Films. The facility reopened as Aura Television Productions on February 9th, 2018.

In February 2018, as part of a corporate reorganization, Aura Television Productions acquired the distribution rights to The CW Animation's television library, consequently also assuming the distribution rights to the Jetix Cymru library. The CW Animation would later have its closure announced in August 2018.

Further corporate reorganizing occurred on March 5th, 2018, when Aura Television Productions acquired the distribution rights to any Cartoon Network XD original series that they didn't distribute through NickFamily Studios or Jetix Cymru/The CW Animation already. The deal also included every first-run series Cartoon Network XD aired by that time (as well as the American distribution rights to Circuit City: The Animated Series, its sequel, and Double Dare: Canada), excluding Mobile Mecha: Next In Class, which remains with Typewriter Japan.

On March 16th, 2018, Cartoon Network AniStudio, through corporate re-organization became a subsidiary of the company.

In August 2018, Aura Television Productions announced deals with digital distribution platforms such as Vudu, Amazon Video, Google Play and Nintendo eShop, whilst also being in talks with Apple for digital distribution on their iTunes platform.

In April 2020, it was announced that Kabillion had acquired U.S. VOD rights to Monster Coins (excluding the more adult-oriented Reunion and Finale) and the Rocket Pets anime (excluding Super Rocket Pets, for the time being).

In March 2022, it was announced, following NickFamily Studios' corporate name change to "Aura Television Studios" (the division would continue to do business as NickFamily Studios and NFStudios until the Nickelodeon branding license expiration in 2024), that Aura Television Productions would be renamed to "Aura Television Distribution" sometime in 2024.
