Carsey-Werner is the preeminent independent studio in the television industry and a recognized force for its unique creative and strategic vision. CW's expertise in creative development has garnered it a long list of awards, while its programming and distribution has global impact, reaching more than 175 countries and bringing in revenues of roughly $3 billion in the last 10 years. As program strategists, CW is unequalled; abundant creativity is their most important resource.

For over twenty years, the company, under the personal leadership of partners Marcy Carsey and Tom Werner, have always practiced its original philosophy:

"Quality over quantity - every program must be worthy of its airtime."
Innovative in its business approach and staunchly independent amid increasing consolidation, CW maintains its prime objective: to develop the best programming, for any delivery system.

Financial strength enables CW to take risks; flexibility allows it to work with any and all creative entities. With no outside interests to protect, CW can be selective in choosing projects and partners, distribution outlets and other relationships. It can access A-list talent above and below the line, across the entire spectrum of the industry. A track record of financial, ratings, critical and creative success attests to a history of working well with all the major players in the business, and participating in unique situations with its most creative people.

CW's tripartite structure of operating units extends the company's reach beyond that of a traditional production company, into many aspects of the media business, including global distribution, cable network programming, third-party programming, foreign networks and new channels and other areas:

  • Carsey-Werner Productions is responsible for some of the most successful series, starring some of the biggest names, in TV history. CW has the power to put shows on the air and retain distribution rights to its creations.
  • Carsey-Werner Distribution supplies its own programming to domestic and international outlets, as well as programming from other sources, giving suppliers the unique advantage of its marketplace clout and individual attention to each product.
