EMI Music Publishing UK have promoted Jonathan Channon, formerly Senior VP for Film, TV and Media, to the new job of Senior Vice President, Media and Business Development. The promotion demonstrates that the ever increasing revenue potential of licensing music to the film, TV, mobile and advertising industries is increasingly important to the publishing house under new MD Guy Moot.
Confirming the rejig Moot told CMU: "Jonathan's promotion recognises the way in which his department has successfully opened up the exploitation of ancillary rights in areas such as broadcast, film and mobile - to cite a few - and I want him to direct our strategy in these areas moving forward. I have a very clear future vision for the company and this promotion for Jonathan follows a number of other key personnel changes I have implemented to ensure that we continue to stay fresh and innovatively look at every area of how we go about our business".
