The umbrella group was formed in 2007 under the name BMG Label Group, was rebranded as RCA/Jive Label Group in 2009. In July 2011 it was finally dissolved into two separate labels in 2011: the RCA Music Group and Epic Records which took Jive subsidiaries (LaFace, Battery, etc.) until October 2011 when it shut down Jive Records along with Arista Records and J Records. Those artists on those three labels were moved to the "rebranded" RCA Records.
