MCA Inc.

MCA Inc. was a former film production company that initally started as a talent agency, but shuttered it due to antitrust laws after buying Universal Pictures.

Universal Pictures is owned by Comcast under NBCUniversal, but for a majority of its presence in the film industry, it served as a division of MCA, which owned Universal Pictures since 1962. MCA ultimately went out of business in 1996 after it was sold to Seagram, which renamed it Universal Studios, and eventually Vivendi Universal in 2000, and NBCUniversal in 2004 following Vivendi selling 80% of Universal to GE to form NBCUniversal, and was sold to Comcast in 2011, which would eventually buy the rest of it in early 2013. Universal Music Group still remains under Vivendi and 10% of it is owned by Tencent since March 2020.

The Langile PCG System made by Langile Corporation in the mid 1970's was sometimes branded as an MCA, which sold as a separate model from the Langile brand. It was also made only a music player with only pong being included.

Spin-off (1997)
In 1997, Langile Corporation founded the talent agency with the same name, which is currently owned and operated by Langile Holdings LLC, but it is in no way affiliated with Universal Music Group nor the original MCA of the 20th Century except in name. It is also only a fifth of the size of the original MCA Inc. from 1924. Despite the formation of the spin-off company by Langile Corporation however, Universal Studios Inc. still retained the MCA name, which was passed to Universal Music Group after it was made a separate company in 2004, and MCA Nashville is the only record label still using the name today.
