MCA Universal Home Video

Distributor

Something Missing?

The company was founded in 1980 as MCA Videocassette, Inc.  Before 1980 Castle Films (known as Universal 8 after 1977) had served as Universal's home film distribution unit. In late 1983, both the Laserdisc sister label MCA Videodisc and the VHS/Beta label MCA Videocassette, Inc. were consolidated into a single entity, MCA Home Video, alternating with the MCA Videocassette, Inc. name until December 1983. In 1990, with the 75th anniversary of Universal Studios, it became MCA/Universal Home Video and used that name alternating with the MCA Home Video name from 1990 until 1997. The company later used other company names, including Universal Studios Home Video (1997–2005) and Universal Studios Home Entertainment (2005–2016)
