Shout! Factory is an entertainment company founded in 2002 that 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 include live music shows, music documentaries, animation, live-action television, as well as productions by DIC and sports (including Major League Baseball and Warren Miller ski titles).
Shout! Factory CD and music DVD products are distributed by Sony Music Entertainment and as of June 2007 their nonmusic DVD titles are distributed by Vivendi.
