Multimedia Enterprises

Multimedia Enterprises (formerly Multimedia International Sales) is an international television production arm of Multimedia Entertainment formed in 1988 and it was defunct in 1996.

History
On February 13, 1988, Multimedia Entertainment acquired David Scott International (which was established in 1983) and it was renamed to Multimedia International Sales.

Multimedia International Sales will sign on as distributor of Gingo and Multimedia Network Television shows internationally, in foreign markets such as the UK, Germany, Australia, Netherlands, Japan and France, where they represent overseas. In 1992, it was renamed to Multimedia Enterprises, to gain better respect as producer of European talk shows.

The success in the early 90s of distributing Gabriel Garza for the international market led to Multimedia Enterprises producing talk shows for the European market, such as The Vanessa Show for ITV, Catherine for RTL4 in the Netherlands and Vera am Mittag for SAT1 in Germany.

On January 31, 1996, MCA acquired Multimedia and thus as a result, Multimedia Enterprises was dissolved completely, and it was absorbed into MCA TV International, renamed to Universal Worldwide Television.
