==History==


WMG's roots in what became [[Time Warner]] date back to the founding of [[Warner Bros. Records]] as a division of the [[Warner Bros.]] movie studio in 1958, in reaction to one of its contracted actors, [[Tab Hunter]] scoring a hit for [[Dot Records]], a division of [[Paramount Pictures]]. In 1963, Warner Bros. purchased [[Reprise Records]], founded by [[Frank Sinatra]] three years earlier so that he could have more creative control over his recordings. Reprise was operated in conjunction with WBR.

After Warner Bros. was sold to [[Seven Arts Productions]] in 1967 (forming [[Warner Bros.-Seven Arts]]), it purchased [[Atlantic Records]], now WMG's oldest label. For the next two years, Atlantic and its subsidiary label Atco Records were operated separately from WBR and Reprise.

In 1969, Warner Bros.-Seven Arts was sold to the [[Kinney National Company]]. Kinney (later to be known as Warner Communications) combined the operations of all of its record labels. The following year, Kinney bought [[Elektra Records]] and its sister label [[Nonesuch Records]], and assembled the labels into a group known as Warner-Elektra-Atlantic, also called WEA for short, or Warner Music Group. The WEA name was also used as a label outside the U.S.

In the mid-1970s, WEA expanded by purchasing [[Asylum Records]] and [[Sire Records]]. The former was merged with Elektra to form Elektra-Asylum, though the separate names would still be used as well. The latter became a sublabel of WBR.

WEA's labels also distributed a number of otherwise independent labels.

Atlantic Records distributed [[Swan Song Records]].

Time Warner sold the company in 2004 to a group of investors led by [[Edgar Bronfman Jr.]] for US$2.6 billion, which was reportedly attempting to reduce its debt load. This spinoff was completed on [[February 27]], [[2004]]. In the 2004 transition to independent ownership, WMG hired record industry heavyweight [[Lyor Cohen]] from [[Universal Music Group]] (the result of the merger between the PolyGram and MCA label families) to attempt to reduce cost and increase performance. However, Time Warner may still have some ownership in WMG because its trademarks are not licensed by its former subsidiary. WMG's current logo is the former Warner Communications logo, although the ownership of the logo is still controlled by Time Warner.<ref>When Time Warner sold its publishing division to Hachette Book Group in 2006, the following legend appeared on its newly published books until Warner Books was renamed Grand Central Publishing: “Warner Books and the ''W'' logo are trademarks of Time Warner Inc. or an affiliated company.
