Universal Music Group (UMG) has acquired UK-based Eagle Rock Entertainment, the largest producer and distributor of music programming for DVD, Blu-Ray, TV and Digital Media in the world.
Eagle Rock works directly alongside talent to produce top quality, High Definition and 3D programmes, both concerts and documentaries, including The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, Queen, The Doors, Jeff Beck, U2, Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney and Ozzy Osbourne.
The acquisition enhances UMG’s presence in one of the most dynamic and growing segments of music today: top-quality, original audio-visual content, such as live concert footage, documentaries and films. The addition of Eagle Rock’s library, which includes nearly 2000 hours of programming and more than 800 titles, enhances the value of UMG’s catalog by broadening the product offerings associated with UMG’s artists. Further, the addition of Eagle Rock’s experienced team will assist UMG in producing video content and creating unique artist-based bundles in a variety of physical and digital formats, including on new and emerging mobile platforms.
