BMG Music Publishing UK has announced it's current chairman Paul Curran is leaving at the end of the month, which isn't that surprising given that the major publishing house is merging with Universal Music Publishing following their previously reported acquisition of the formerly Bertelsmann owned pubbery. Elsewhere in post-merger changes, it is expected that the BMG bit of the merged company will stop using the BMG name quite soon, simply becoming a division of Universal Publishing. Whether that division will have any autonomy or unique identity apart from the rest of the Universal publishing house/catalogue is not yet clear.
