History
Nest Family Entertainment started as Family Entertainment Network on July 1, 1988,[1] which was an offshoot of the Living Scriptures company that Brown and Young had formed a decade prior. It specialized in dramatized audio cassette sets and animated direct-to-video series based on stories from the Holy Bible. On October 22, 1991, a sibling company was formed, Living History Productions, for dramatized audio cassettes and animated videos based on noted figures and principles of history.[2]
On September 15, 1993, a single umbrella company named Nest Entertainment[3] owned two production companies, Family Entertainment Network was renamed to Family Entertainment until 1994, and Living History Productions until 1996.[4]
