Sterling Entertainment Group

Sterling Entertainment Group (formerly United American Video Corporation, and more commonly known as UAV Corporation or UAV Entertainment), was an entertainment company founded in 1984 as a small local company originally located in Nashville, Tennessee, then Charlotte, North Carolina. Its headquarters would later relocate to Fort Mill, South Carolina. UAV was also the longtime competitor of GoodTimes Entertainment, Anchor Bay Entertainment and Celebrity Home Video and many other sell through home entertainment companies.

United American Video began in 1984, with four employees, 50 public domain titles and 200 professional grade VHS and Betamax recorders. The founders changed the name a few years later to UAV Corporation to better reflect its entry into the prerecorded music and PC software businesses. In 1992, UAV relocated from Charlotte to Fort Mill into a custom built 100,000 square feet headquarters housing manufacturing, distribution and all sales and marketing functions. In the late 90s, UAV changed its name to Sterling Entertainment Group. In 1999, Sterling added 210,000 additional square feet to its headquarters with over 250 associates. In 2002, Sterling was sold to a private equity firm.
