CBS Home Entertainment: Difference between revisions

The Columbia Broadcasting System ('''CBS''') 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 Media Distribution|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 Productions]], [[CBS Paramount Television|CBS Paramount International Television]] (later "CBS Studios International" and now the "ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group"), and CBS Paramount Domestic Television to form [[CBS Media Ventures|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.

'''Logo:''' On a background full of spirals, we see five crescent-like shapes moving from the center to the right of us, unveiling a circle, and, at the same time two remaining crescent-like shapes flying in different directions. The two crescent-like shapes and the circle form the CBS Eye, which loops and zooms out to its position while "'''CBS'''" (in the same font used for the logos for [[Eyemark Entertainment|Eyemark]] and [[CBS Enterprises]], both currently known as [[CBS Media Ventures]], and [[CBS Broadcast International]], now known as the "[[ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group]]") zooms-out to the right of the CBS Eye and the words "Home Entertainment" appear below "'''CBS'''". The blue and silver spirals fade out as "'''CBS'''" shines.
