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.
