TCM Celebrates the 100th Anniversary of Columbia Pictures in January


On June 19 1918 brothers Jack and Harry Cohn with their partner Joe Brandt founded Cohn-Brandt-Cohn Film Sales Corporation, better known as CBC. It was on January 10 1924 that the Cohn brothers and Joe Brandt reorganized CBC and renamed it Columbia Pictures Corporation.
