Business News Deals Labels & Publishers
Warner/Chappell buys 615
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 13 December 2010
Proving that it’s not just BMG buying up every publishing enterprise that moves (and occasionally even those that sit very still), Warner’s music publishing business Warner/Chappell has just announced it has bought 615 Music, a Nashville-based production music set up. As part of the deal 615’s CEO Randy Wachtler will become VP for all of Warner/Chappell’s production music operations in North America.
BMG won’t like someone else filling our ‘music publishing acquisitions’ slot. Which is almost certainly why, according to Music Week, it is about to complete another takeover deal, this time of a mid-sized UK music publisher.
