London – Endemol has entered an international deal with music publisher EMI Music Publishing. In a new global partnership, EMI Music Publishing 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 in programmes and other products and services. EMI Music Publishing will work closely with Endemol Worldwide Brands (EWB), which is managing the deal on behalf of Endemol Group. EMI and EWB will also work with Endemol’s operating companies across the globe to exploit local music catalogues, expanding local business activities in line with Endemol Worldwide Brands’ remit. The partnership follows a comprehensive global review of Endemol’s music assets throughout 2010, led by EWB’s CEO Olivier Gers and international IP rights consultant, Amanda Harcourt. The partnership has been negotiated for EMI Music Publishing by Jonathan Channon, Executive Vice President of Media & Business Development. EWB has appointed Tracy Davis to the new role of secondary rights manager in order to coordinate the relationship with EMI Music Publishing. Davis, formerly from Rights Portfolio Administration at Disney and from the Broadcast Rights division at PRS for Music, has 25 years experience in the music publishing and recording industries as well as in rights management. She will report to Olivier Gers.
