Shout! Studios
Shout! Factory is an entertainment company founded in 2001 and which was started by Richard Foos (co-founder of Rhino Records), Bob Emmer (former Warner Music Group and Rhino executive) and Garson Foos (former Rhino executive) initially as a specialty music label. It focuses on enriched music catalog reissues, home video/DVD projects, and television properties.
Conceived as a retro pop culture label, Shout! Factory DVD projects (which began in 2003) include live music shows (many of them in conjunction with PBS), music documentaries, animation (including multiple Home Movies and Spike & Mike animation titles, as well as productions by DIC), and sports (including Major League Baseball and Warren Miller (director) ski titles).
Shout! Factory CD products are distributed by Sony BMG Music Entertainment and as of June 2007 their DVD titles are distributed by Vivendi.
Shout! Factory currently has a long term distribution deal with DIC Entertainment for most of the latter company's catalog.
