ABC Video Enterprises
History
[edit]ABC Video Enterprises was formed in 1979 by American Broadcasting Companies to develop, license and market programing domestically for cable, videodiscs, videocassettes and other then-new communications forms.
The arm's first licensee was Magnetic Video Corporation, who was a leading video distributor. Many other companies would follow suit over the years.
In 1987, to reflect the formation of Capital Cities/ABC from ABC's merger with Capital Cities Communications a couple of years earlier, ABC Video Enterprises was renamed to Capital Cities/ABC Video Enterprises.
