'''MGM/UA Communications Co.''' was founded in 1986, five years after the formation of MGM/UA Entertainment Co. when '''[[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]]''' acquired '''[[United Artists|UA]]''' from Transamerica Corporation in 1981. Before the name existed; from March 25 to August 26, 1986, Ted Turner owned MGM, and both companies were reincorporated as "MGM Entertainment Co." and "United Artists Corporation" for a short time. After UA purchased MGM's production and distribution assets, as well as its trademark, from Turner, both companies were reincorporated as MGM/UA Communications Co. In 1990, when Giancarlo Parretti under Pathé Communications (not to be confused with the French studio) purchased MGM/UA, the company was renamed as "MGM-Pathé Communications Co.". However, the company was reverted back to "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer" on July 2, 1992. | '''MGM/UA Communications Co.''' was founded in 1986, five years after the formation of MGM/UA Entertainment Co. when '''[[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]]''' acquired '''[[United Artists|UA]]''' from Transamerica Corporation in 1981.
