PROFILE |
 |
If the house is a-rockin', it's probably Columbia House. A fifty-fifty joint venture between entertainment giants Sony and AOL Time Warner, Columbia House is the top club-based direct marketer of music and videos in North America. The company sells more than 16,000 music selections and 7,000 video titles via mail-order and its namesake Web site. Started in 1955, Columbia House boasts more than 14 million members in the US, Canada, and Mexico. The company agreed to merge with online music retailer CDnow in 1999; the deal was called off in March 2000, however, not long after parent Time Warner announced its intent to merge with America Online. (The merger was completed in January 2001.)
