Magnetic Video Corporation was established by Andre Blay in 1968 in Michigan, United States. Magnetic Video was the first distributor to release VHS tapes commercially (home video) and is therefore of great historic and cultural importance, for it started a “revolution”: bringing movies into people’s homes.
