MUZU does deal with Cooking Vinyl
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 30 January 2009
Music video service MUZU TV has just announced another global licensing deal, this time with indie label Cooking Vinyl. It will mean another raft of videos added to the ever-expanding MUZU catalogue, and may just mean the arrival of some of CV’s artists, maybe The Prodigy, Blondie, The Charlatans and Hayseed Dixie, on the MUZU-powered CMU-Tube. Hurrah.
Here’s what Ciaran Bollard, MUZU’s Co-Founder and Director of Business Development, told CMU: “Cooking Vinyl is a fantastic coup for MUZU TV users globally. The support from highly respected labels such as Cooking Vinyl further helps to materialise our goal to become the de facto partner for the music industry and the best place for fans to watch, create and share and music video playlists. We are delighted that MUZU TV users will also get exclusive access to unseen video footage which we are digitising on behalf of Cooking Vinyl”.
Chief Vinyl Cook, Martin Goldschmidt, added: “To date, we have resisted doing deals with a lot of online video platforms because we didn’t feel their offering fairly compensated our artists and had the right focus. MUZU TV is different from other online video sites – it was purpose-built for the music industry and we believe it holds great revenue potential for our label through a music-focussed service. We see MUZU TV as being a key online video partner going forward”.
