Columbia Broadcasting System established its own home entertainment division as "CBS Video Enterprises, Inc." in 1975 to distribute CBS releases on video. In 1979, they joined forces first with MGM, forming "MGM/CBS Home Video" a year later, dissolving this venture in 1982 after MGM acquired United Artists a year earlier. Later in the same year, CBS teamed up with 20th Century Fox to form "CBS/Fox Video". Under this new label, two sub labels were created: Key Video (later reactivated as "Key DVD" by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment), and Playhouse Video, but both became inactive in 1991, and CBS/Fox Video was reincorporated as Fox Video the same year, alternating with the CBS/Fox name until 1998 when Fox Entertainment Group acquired CBS's interest in CBS/Fox, and CBS merged with Viacom. After the merger was completed in 2000, Fox stopped distributing standalone CBS releases on video, and CBS Video created "CBS DVD" for DVD releases of CBS shows in tandem with Paramount Home Entertainment. In 2005, CBS and Viacom were split again, with the "old" Viacom, Inc. reincorporated as "CBS Corporation", and the other retaining the "Viacom" name. On September 26, 2006, CBS Corporation merged this label with King World, CBS Paramount International Television (now "CBS Studios International"), and CBS Paramount Domestic Television to form CBS Television Distribution, relaunching this label under its current name as CBS Home Entertainment one year later. However, Paramount Home Entertainment continues to distribute CBS DVDs as of 2008. As of 2015, Lionsgate Home Entertainment handles the distribution of CBS Films theatrical releases on DVD. | Columbia Broadcasting System established its own home entertainment division as "CBS Video Enterprises, Inc." in 1975 to distribute CBS releases on video.
