Anchor Bay Entertainment, Inc.
I never understood why Anchor Bay Entertainment, Inc. (a subsidiary of the Handleman Company formed in mid-May 1995 through a merger between Video Treasures, Inc., acquired by the Handleman Company in January 1989, and StarMaker Entertainment, acquired by the Handleman Company in July 1994) secured an agreement on June 16, 1995 to move its videocassette duplicator to the Allied Digital Technologies Corp. from Technicolor Videocassette, Inc. (dba Technicolor Video Services), with the switchover being finalized in mid-July 1995. According to an issue of Billboard Magazine dated October 21, 1995, trouble ensued when the switchover was finalized. Allied was not prepared for the numerous, but smaller runs of Anchor Bay releases and fell several months behind schedule. Vehemently, James Merkle, CEO and president of Allied at the time, denied any difficulties. "Anchor Bay is thrilled with what we're doing," he says. "I talk to them all the time. It has been a smooth transition." Ironically, Merkle resigned in November 1995.
IMHO, Anchor Bay should've extended their contract with Technicolor Video Services instead of terminating the contract.
