MCA Television Enterprises: Difference between revisions

'''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. For more than four decades, it was one of the most active producers and distributors of television programming. 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". On December 9, 1996, MCA was reincorporated as Universal Studios and as a result, MCA Television Enterprises would become "[[Universal Television Enterprises]]" and MCA TV International would become "[[Universal Worldwide Television]]".
