Sony has extended the contract of the man who will oversee its music publishing business, a division that is poised to greatly expand if Sony’s bid for EMI is approved.
Martin Bandier, the veteran music executive who since 2007 has been chairman and chief executive of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Sony’s joint venture with the Michael Jackson estate, has signed a new long-term contract to lead that venture, Sony announced on Monday.
Terms of the deal, including the length of the contract, were not disclosed. But one person with direct knowledge of the deal who did not want to be identified said the contract was for up to four years.
