Media Home Entertainment Warning Screens

These warning screens are from **Media Home Entertainment**, **Heron Home Entertainment** (although **Media Home Entertainment** wouldn't be bought by **Heron International** until 1984), **Hi-Tops Video** (children's division), **The Nostalgia Merchant** (classic film division), **Music Media** (music-oriented division), and **Fox Hills Video** (special interest/obscure B-movie division). However, **MEDA (Media Home Entertainment)** VHS and Betamax tapes don't have warning screens until 1981. In 1989, **Media Home Entertainment** was merged with a distributor **Vidmark Entertainment**, but it has this warning screen instead of the **Lionsgate Warning Screen**. In 1991, **Media Home Entertainment** was exclusively distributed by **CBS/Fox Video** and **Fox Video** (both now **20th Century Fox Home Entertainment**), but it has this warning screen instead of the **20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Warning Screen**. In 1993, some of the Media Home Entertainment assets were absorbed into 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment while the others, including the home video library, were sold to **Video Treasures** (now **Anchor Bay Entertainment**).
