GLOBAL MUSIC RIGHTS (GMR) announced TODAY (3/24) a long-term, multi-year partnership with ENTERCOM COMMUNICATIONS which lets ENTERCOM play/perform GMR’s catalog of hits on all of its platforms, beginning immediately, and paves the way for a strong partnership between the audio content and entertainment platform and the boutique performing rights organization.
GMR's roster of hitmakers including NICKI MINAJ, DRAKE, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, PRINCE and many others. The commercial partnership benefits both ENTERCOM and the GLOBAL MUSIC RIGHTS songwriters, unlocking access to some of music’s most popular performers for fans all over the country.
GMR Founder IRVING AZOFF commented, “Music always brings people together. [ENTERCOM Chairman/President/CEO] DAVID FIELD is a music fan, so it’s no surprise that he welcomed the opportunity to work together to bring great music to fans through ENTERCOM’s network.”
FIELD noted, "We are excited to partner with IRVING and the team at GMR. They represent some of the top talent on radio today. The combination of ENTERCOM’s reach and GMR’s music is a huge win for our audience.”
This announcement raises questions about whether the pending litigation between the RADIO MUSIC LICENSE COMMITTEE, GMR and ENTERCOM is now a moot point.
