RCA/JIVE Label Group was a short-lived American record label group, owned by Sony Music Entertainment and representing the merger of the RCA Music Group and JIVE Label Group. 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.
