EMI

From Home Video

History[edit]

Prior to 1986, EMI's music video content was released by Thorn EMI Video, which at that time, was obviously owned by Thorn EMI. After Thorn EMI sold its entertainment business to Cannon, EMI's titles were marketed on home video by International Video Entertainment, under their Radio Vision Video imprint, as well as Sony Video Software and MPI Home Video. Besides that, EMI operated a production company, Picture Music International, mainly to produce music videos of EMI's material.

In September 1989, EMI formed its own American video arm, EMI Video, mainly dedicating to releases of EMI's music catalog. It also had sublabels, including SBK Music Video, Capitol Video and Capitol Nashville. In 1992, EMI acquired Virgin Records, and with it, the Virgin Music Video line was moved to EMI by the way of Capitol Records. In the late 1990s, the company entered DVD production.

In 2007, EMI was sold to Terra Firma Capital Partners. Five years later, in 2012, EMI was sold to Universal Music Group.
