Background
BMG Ariola Miller was created in 1987 as a joint venture of German music companies Bertelsmann Music Group, Ariola and Miller. It served as a subsidiary of BMG Video, and focused on releasing children's material and budget titles in Germany (in collaboration with Europa Video). The joint venture was renamed to "BMG Family Entertainment" in 2004 when Bertelsmann merged their music business with Sony Music Entertainment. After BMG was absorbed into SME in 2008, the division went defunct as well.
