TL;DR Summary

Columbia House, the 71-year-old mail-order media club that began as CBS/Columbia Record Club in 1955, says it will stop accepting new orders after September 15, 2026, effectively ending its run while still fulfilling existing orders; after a long history of ownership changes and a pivot from music to DVDs and Blu-rays, the club declined as online retailers and big-box stores reshaped the market.
