They began by purchasing Propaganda Films (who were responsible for Turbocharged Thunderbirds' production and effects) and closing the Channel 5 division to release the series themselves, along with four new compilation tapes. In their final takeover move, the company would go on to buy out ITC Entertainment's film and video library for $156 million dollars, effective January 1st 1995. Ultimately, PolyGram's future came to a grinding halt in 1998 upon being sold to the (also now defunct) Canadian beverage corporation, Seagram. The buyout was made specifically for Polygram's music library, and Seagram subsequently sold off the entire visual library to numerous buyers. The remaining ITC productions (including Thunderbirds) were sold to Carlton Communications on January 19th 1999 for a price of $150 million."@en . "PolyGram Entertainment"@en .
