EMI Signs Endemol for Music

Under the agreement, EMI will administer Endemol’s music library and related music rights around the world, including themes from “Big Brother,” “Wipeout,” “The Money Drop” and “Deal Or No Deal.” This will include driving and coordinating exploitation of Endemol-owned music, and making compositions available for use by third parties.

“Leading media companies are increasingly realizing that they have a genuine opportunity to make their music assets work harder for them, and that’s particularly true for a business like Endemol with such global reach and success,” says Jonathan Channon, executive vice president of media and business development at EMI Music Publishing. “We’re looking forward to working with them on both an international and local level to deliver real value for their impressive music catalogue and library.”
