'''Anchor Bay Entertainment''' was a home video and production company originally formed in May 1995, when both [[Video Treasures]] and [[Starmaker Entertainment|Starmaker]] were purchased by the Handleman Company and merged into Anchor Bay. It remained a part of Handleman until 2003, when it was sold to IDT Entertainment. In 2006, IDT was purchased by Liberty Media (the owner of the Starz cable network), and IDT became Starz Media (now [[Starz Distribution]]); the following year, Anchor Bay was renamed to "'''Starz Home Entertainment'''", only for it to revert back to its original name in 2008. In March 2011, [[The Weinstein Company]] purchased 25% of Anchor Bay. In 2016, [[Lionsgate]] reached an agreement with Starz to acquire the company for $4.4 billion. A year later, Anchor Bay was folded into Lionsgate's home media division. | '''Anchor Bay Entertainment''' was a home video and production company originally formed in May 1995, when both [[Video Treasures]] and [[Starmaker Entertainment|Starmaker]] were purchased by the Handleman Company and merged into Anchor Bay.
