CBS/Fox Video

Historic home-video label created through the CBS and 20th Century-Fox home-entertainment partnership, widely seen on VHS, Betamax and LaserDisc releases during the 1980s and 1990s.

Overview

CBS/Fox Video

CBS/Fox Video was one of the major labels of the early home-video era, distributing film and television material across rapidly developing consumer formats. Its branding appears across editions whose physical packaging and format-specific production are now part of the history of domestic film collecting.

Why it matters

TMR retains CBS/Fox Video as a historical organisation because the exact distributor and video label printed on a physical edition can be as important as the film title itself when documenting early home media.

Research note

The CBS/Fox corporate and naming history changed across territories and formats. TMR uses the entity to reflect the imprint found on objects; individual editions retain their exact regional manufacturer/distributor data.
