Following their restructure of global operations into four division, BMG are now setting about restructuring their actual labels. The first big change sees RCA Victor – the group's classical, jazz and world music division – split up. The Windham Hill, Bluebird Jazz, Victor and Private Music labels will become imprints of Arista (with former RCA Victor head David Weyner in charge, reporting to Arista boss LA Reid). The classical bits will be merged in with BMG's other classical music labels under the BMG Classics umbrella, headed up by BMG Publishing chief Nick Firth.
