This inefficient arrangement ended in 2019 when the two entities were, like the Star Trek film and television franchises, reunified into what has become the Paramount Global holding conglomerate of a unified Paramount Home Entertainment.
=== UK division ===
The UK division of PHE was responsible for Star Trek VHS releases in the UK from 1999 to 2002, and DVD releases from 2002 onward. PHE took over distribution from CIC Video, who were merged into PHE following the end of the joint venture with Universal Pictures.
VHS releases included the final three seasons of TNG re-releases (seasons 3-5) in three-episodes-per-tape format, as well as DS9 volume 7.13, VOY Season 6 and 7, and the first season of Enterprise.
