Alpha Video (also known as Alpha Home Entertainment) is an entertainment company founded in 1985 as New Age Video, based near Philadelphia, that specializes in the manufacturing and marketing of public domain movies and TV shows on DVD. Since 2001, Alpha Video has released more than 5,100 titles and currently maintains a catalog of over 4,600 active titles.
With 600+ DVDs of TV shows in active distribution in 2009, industry publication DVD Release Report ranked Alpha Video #3 in their ranking of the "Top 20 Sources for TV Series on DVD Through the Period Ending December 31, 2009," behind Warner Home Video (733 releases) and Paramount Home Entertainment (666 releases). With over 1,461 theatrical releases available, the same publication ranked Alpha Video #2 in the "Top 20 Sources for Theatrical Catalog on DVD," just behind Warner Home Video (1,609 releases).
In November 2022, Alpha Video entered into an exclusive manufacturing and distribution agreement with Allied Vaughn and transitioned to a manufacture on demand (MOD) model.
The company is privately held, and owned by Collectables Records founder Jerry Greene. Alpha Video is one of a group of companies, including Collectables Records and Gotham Distributing Corporation, owned and operated by Jerry Greene and the Greene family. Until March 2023, this group also included the e-commerce website Oldies.com; however, that business is now part of Old School Ventures, Inc., a joint venture formed by MVD Entertainment Group and Gotham Distributing Corporation.
