The reason is...............Fox has the rights to (many) MGM films internationally.

I don't think Fox own the rights to any MGM films. Having lived in Australia I can tell you Fox distibute many (not all) MGM films on video -but MGM's logo is still there very clearly.

In the UK Fox distribute films for lots of small companies. Fox have big distribution arms in a few countries, but they don't own the rights, they just produce the videos/DVDs and sell them wholesale.
