ღ..wHaT iS MGM?..ღ

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc., or MGM, is an American media company, involved primarily in the production and distribution of cinema and television programs.
From the end of the silent film era through World War II, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was the prominent motion picture studio in Hollywood, with the greatest output of all of the studios: at its height, it released one feature film a week, along with many short subjects and serials. A victim of the massive restructuring of the motion picture industry during the 1950s and 60s, it was ultimately unable to cope with the loss of its theater chain (due to the Paramount decrees), and the power shift from studio bosses to independent producers and agents.
On April 8, 2005, the company was acquired by a partnership led by Sony and Comcast in association with Texas Pacific Group and Providence Equity Partners. As of 2006, MGM now produces film and television content in conjunction with the Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group through Sony Pictures Entertainment. Columbia TriStar and Sony Pictures continue to distribute MGM's films domestically and 20th Century Fox continue to distribute the films internationally, although MGM plans to begin distributing its own films again.
