MTV: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

MTV was launched by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner-Amex_Satellite_Entertainment Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment], a joint venture between Warner Bros. and American Express. In 1985, [[Viacom]] purchased Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment and, with it, MTV. Viacom grouped the network with other cable networks to form MTV Networks, which also includes networks under the VH1, Nickelodeon, Spike TV, and Comedy Central brands, among others. Viacom also owned [[Paramount Pictures]], whose Paramount Home Entertainment division is responsible for physical home video releases of ''Daria'' worldwide, licensed from MTV Home Entertainment. In 2005, when Viacom was renamed CBS Corporation, MTV and Paramount were moved to the new spinoff company created by the merger, also named Viacom.
