'''MCA TV''' (first known as "MCA TV, Ltd." and later "MCA Television Enterprises"; commonly known as "MCA Television") was the television production/distribution company of Revue Studios that was founded in 1951, several years before parent MCA's purchase of the U.S. branch of Decca Records (now "Universal Music Group") in 1959 and Universal-International Pictures in 1962.

MCA TV's other television divisions included [[Universal Television (1963-1998)|Universal Television]] (formerly "Revue Studios") and MCA Television Entertainment (also known as "[[MTE]]"). From 1965-December 1973, MCA TV became an in-name-only unit for Universal Television until January 1974, and even then films distributed by MCA TV used the standard Universal film logo until at least 1982. MCA TV also had a global distribution arm called "MCA TV International". In December 1996, MCA was reincorporated as Universal Studios and as a result, MCA TV would be become "[[Universal Television Enterprises]]" and MCA TV International would become "[[Universal Worldwide Television]]". | ||
