MTM Records was an American independent record label specializing in country music. It was founded in 1984 as a subsidiary of the production company of the same name, a company owned by actress Mary Tyler Moore.[1] After MTM Enterprises was sold in late 1988, the label was absorbed into Capitol Records. Staff songwriters included Radney Foster and Bill Lloyd of Foster & Lloyd, as well as Larry Boone and Hugh Prestwood.[1] In its four years of existence, fifty-two singles on the MTM label charted on the Billboard country singles chart.[2] The label also signed one rock music act, The Metro All Stars.[3]
