	Entertainment One has its origins in [[1970]] as '''Records on Wheels''' and the music retail chain CD Plus. ~~The chain was in the process of acquiring other companies to bolster its wholesale operations in music~~ and ~~home video, leading~~ to ~~its purchase of~~ ROW in [~~[2001]]~~. ~~Its vice president~~ of ~~operations, Darren Throop, had joined the company after CD Plus acquired his Halifax~~-~~based record store chain Urban Sound Exchange.~~ The ~~combined company later became known as ROW Entertainment, with Throop as president~~ and CEO. The company listed itself on the Toronto Stock Exchange as an income trust, meaning that its taxes were paid by its shareholders, rather than the company itself. Afterward, ROW began to diversify its operations into content ownership. In June [[2005]], it acquired the American independent music distributor and home entertainment ~~publisher Koch Entertainment. In [[2007]~~], the company ~~accepted a $188 million public equity takeover by Marwyn Investment Management to fund its expansion; the company was listed on London's Alternative Investment Market as~~ '''Entertainment One ~~Ltd.~~'''<ref>~~{{w\|~~Entertainment One~~#Establishment-1/ENT\|Wikipedia}}~~</ref>		Entertainment One has its origins in [[1970]] as '''Records on Wheels''' and the music retail chain '''CD Plus'''.
