Paramount would form their own home video distribution arm in late 1979 and its first titles appeared on the Winter 1980 CES. Paramount would later secure deals with third-party distributors, most notably Atlantic Releasing Corporation and Skouras Pictures, throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Paramount would later launch sublabels, such as '''Paramount Gateway Video''', formed in 1982 to release mid-price titles, and '''Bel Canto/Paramount Home Video''', formed in 1985 to release music-related titles. In 1984, Paramount Home Video begin distributing titles by Simon & Schuster Video, a company that was at that time, owned by Gulf + Western, who was sister to Paramount, and four years later, begin distributing titles by Madison Square Garden Home Video.

In 1994, it picked up the home video distribution rights to Capital Cities/ABC Video Publishing's titles, until it was sold to Disney in 1996.
