Background: This is the music video and DVD division of Columbia Records, a record label owned by Sony Music Entertainment. It was folded in 2009, following the restructuring of Sony Music with the shutdown of BMG.
Logo: Same as the CBS Music Video logo, but under "CMV" reads "COLUMBIA MUSIC VIDEO".
FX/SFX: Same as the 1st CBS Music Video and SMV Enterprises logos.

Editor's Note: None.
