On November 30th, 2004, CTHE was renamed Sony Pictures Home Entertainment in the USA and Canada. Sony continued to use the CTHE name and logo in the UK, the Republic of Ireland and some other territories outside North America. It was not until June 20th, 2005 that SPHE finally decided to adopt their current name and logo worldwide, although until April 2006, the logo was still used on VHS releases in the UK and Ireland, as well as French Canadian releases, and also on reprints of some previously released films and TV shows on VHS and DVD.
