The company was established in 1984 after Warner Communications and American Express decided to divest the basic cable assets of Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment, renaming it as MTV Networks, Inc. The following year, Viacom acquired 66% of the company, and then acquired the remaining interest in 1986, dropping the "Inc." from its name. Warner-Amex originally created and owned Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1, and The Movie Channel.
