Warner Music Group

History

In the early 1980s, Warner Communications Inc. formed Warner Music Video, initially as a production company, and quickly became a label in 1984, with Warner-Elektra-Atlantic Corporation serving as distributor of WMV's titles.

It was expanded in 1985, when Atlantic Records got its own home video label, Atlantic Video, primarily releasing Atlantic Records content, and a year later, when Elektra Records formed Elektra Entertainment to release Elektra Records music videos content. Also that year, Warner Music Video became Warner Reprise Video, and became the mass-market distributor for Kidsongs titles.

Elektra briefly dabbled into the general/special interest entertainment market in 1989, when it released three titles under a deal with MTV Networks, by way of Nickelodeon. When sales flopped, WEA shifted its general/special interest titles to Atlantic Records, whose Atlantic Video name was renamed to an upstart company A*Vision Entertainment in 1990.

In 1991, WMG launched a subsidiary, Warner Music Vision to produce music videos. After A*Vision was transferred to Warner Bros. Records, the Atlantic Video label was quickly reinstated. In 1996, WEA's distribution of WMG's general entertainment library was transferred to Warner Home Video.

In 2004, Warner Music Group was split from AOL Time Warner, in 2006, the label became Warner Music Entertainment, consolidating together Atlantic and Elektra's labels together, alongside DVD producer The Rights Company.
