EMI Publishing extends relationship with Shine Group
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 27 September 2011
EMI’s publishing company has announced a worldwide agreement with the Shine Group, the telly firm set up by Elisabeth Murdoch and now owned by the family firm, the always honest News Corp. The deal will see EMI Music Publishing represent the publishing rights in music generated for various Shine Group franchises, including ‘MasterChef’ and ‘One Born Every Minute’, and expands on previous deals between the music major and some of Shine’s constituent businesses.
Confirming the new partnership, Shine Group’s Alex Mahon told reporters: “We have long enjoyed a good relationship with EMI Music Publishing in the UK and are delighted to be able to formalise this on a global basis throughout the group. Their expertise, scale and professional approach make them the perfect partners with which to realise the full potential of our owned music on a group level and to build upon our library”.
EMI’s Jonathan Channon added: “Extending our deal with Shine enables us to increase the revenue potential for their music assets from a wider range of programming genres across the world. Shine is an incredibly strong business that continues to grow, and we are delighted to be able to partner with them and offer business support to acquire music assets for their wider group of companies”.
