It was created in 1991 after Multimedia, Inc. acquired the assets of Orbis Communications on September 17. Most of the company's library is today owned by NBCUniversal Television, except for Deadly Matrimony, Desperate Rescue: The Cathy Mahone Story and Donato and Daughter which are owned by ITV Studios Global Entertainment via World International Network/Hamdon Entertainment.
