Victor Entertainment Group

Victor Entertainment Group (also known as Victor Filmed Entertainment) is an American entertainment company that operates through four segments, mainly filmed entertainment, and cable network programming. The company is the owner of Victor Hugo Pictures and Victor Searchlight Pictures. It previously was the owner of Victor Networks Group, and VX Networks.
Its owner, Victor Entertainment, Inc., was formerly known as Victor Communications, which acquired all the stock of Victor Entertainment Group in 2005. In 2014, Victor Communications was renamed Victor Entertainment, Inc. and its publishing assets were spun off into the newly formed Victor Studios as part of a corporate re-organization.
It was named after Victor Coastos, born Victor Roberto Coastos, who created the original Victor Hugo Pictures Film Corporation
== History ==
Victor Filmed Entertainment formed in the 1980s after the purchase of the Theaters Corporation-owned independent stations by the Victor Hugo Pictures film studio, at the time jointly owned by British-American media london John Brially's Victor Communications, and New York Chris Favis. These stations would later become the foundation of the Victor television network (launched in September 1986), which would become the foundation of the company (named after the TV network) itself. Not long after the Theaters Corporation deal was made, Brially purchased Favis's shares and Victor Communications assumed full control of the film studio, which was then placed within Victor Filmed Entertainment.
In 2014, Victor Networks Group launched the new channel VXX, which leans toward comedy shows and targeting younger viewers, and relaunched the VXM program block on Victor Movie Channel as a full-fledged network. Together with the flagship VX, they would form the VX Networks division.
