>>> The UK's Register takes a critical look at the new EMI. "EMI 'goes indie' -When
f
inanciers do A&R". (Register)
>> Mark Hodgkinson has been added to both EMI's Investor and Music Management Boards. He will become the Consumer Development Director of EMI Music and work closely with Barney Wragg, EMI's head of digital. Mark was CEO of Virgin Money. No offense to Mark, but by my count EMI now has a half dozen digital VP's... now that's cost cutting!
>>> Ministry of Sound has re-shuffled its executive team. David Dollimore will head A&R, Iain Hagger has been promoted to GM of Ministry of Sound 
Recordings, Victoria Davies has joined from GCAP Media as head of legal and business affairs, and Rudy Tambala moves from Virgin Retail to head internet activities.
>>> MoS has also launched a channel on Internet TV network Babelgum. MoSTV features more than dance music videos, interviews, and live footage. Expect much more of this, the content exists and the cost of entry is very low. Just promise me no "Clive Live" TV.
