Warner Music Vision (also known as Warner Vision[1]) is a music video company formed in 1991 to make music videos from artists and bands on Warner Bros. Records, Maverick Records, Sire Records, Atlantic Records, and other Warner Music Group labels and to release them on video. Worldcat lists thousands of published works for Warner Music Vision.[2] The label also had a sublabel, WarnerVision Entertainment (formerly A*Vision Entertainment until 1995), to release special interest products. Two other labels: KidVision, primarily focusing on children's videos, and BodyVision, to release health and fitness videos, were set up by WarnerVision as well.
The company operated Warner-Elektra-Atlantic (WEA), also known as WEA Music Video in Canada and Australia, as their worldwide sales and distribution unit. From 1992 to 1996, WEA also distributed releases by LIVE Entertainment following the latter's stint with MCA Distributing Corporation.[3]
In 2006, Warner Music Vision merged with the Rights Company to form Warner Music Entertainment.[1]
