BMG was formed in 1970. In 1986, it acquired RCA Records. In the acquisition, the company acquired RCA Victor Ltd. to form BMG Music Canada as part of a worldwide renaming of RCA's international division to BMG.[1] The next year BMG created a Canadian division of Ariola Records with BMG International, N.V.
Previously working for Henri Dès albums, it acquired the Lanoraie, Quebec-based Interdisc Distribution Inc. to form BMG Québec, in 1990, originally as BMG Musique du Québec under the direction of Nicolas Ferrier.
In the 1990s BMG released a number of dance compilation albums.[2] In 1995, Paul Alofs was appointed President of BMG Canada, and former artist manager Keith Porteous was promoted to Vice President.[3] Soon after, BMG arranged to be the Canadian distributor for the band Treble Charger.[3]
In 1998, Lisa Zbitnew who had served as General Manager the previous year, was appointed President.[4]
In 2004, the label merged with Sony Music Canada to create Sony BMG Music Canada Inc.
