I’m your host – beyond carbon solutions
and today we take a look at the history
of NBC Universal Universal Pictures
origins actually date back to a German
Jewish immigrant named Carl Laemmle who
established a clothing store in
Wisconsin during an early trip to
Chicago he came across Nickelodeon
theaters and absolutely fell in love
from then onwards he basically
repositioned his company into a movie
business and by 1925 the Universal
Pictures company was born by the 1950s
the movie business was in serious
trouble
that’s when MCA a record label proceeded
to combine its operations with those of
Universal and by 1962 proceeded to take
over Universal Pictures in the decade
that ensued MCA ran into its own share
of problems and that’s when longtime
head Lew Wasserman decided to reach out
to Matsushita electronic to get some
help a short five years after Matsushita
entered the scene they themselves
proceeded to go out and sell MCA
Universal to liquor distributor Seagram
at the onset of the 21st century Seagram
decided to accelerate its strategy to
scale in the media business and merge
with Yves nd the merged company was
baptized a vendor Universal but by 2004
was burdened with that and vivendi
sought to sell an 80 percent stake to
General Electric who owned of course NBC
NBC then proceeded to merge NBC with
Universal and dropped the Vivendi name
and today owns 80% of the entity and
hence why be then he owns the remaining
20% NBC Universal’s main bread and
butter has always been TV productions
but today the company’s roster of hits
include some of the biggest successes
ever including ET Jaws and of course
Back to the Future
despite its tumultuous past or maybe
because of it NBC Universal remains one
of the most successful and best
positioned media companies entering the
21st century in fact the company owns
the rights to the Olympics and this year
will be front and center as the Olympics
charge into China for the Beijing Games
