Managing music rights
The purpose of the Group's music
publishers is to produce and contract with
their creators the original songs included
in the programmes on
Atresmedia TV
,
such as those used in the news, series,
films and promotions. In this way, rights
are generated that are paid for through
the management bodies. In addition, this
is the area that exploits the early morning
timeslot broadcasting music items such
as video clips and self-produced concerts,
and these works belong to the publisher.
During 2015, the spotlight was focused on
managing the copyrights generated from
the music in the
Atresmedia
group series
sold abroad.
In this context, agreements have
been signed with rights management
companies to represent the Publisher in
the rest of the world and therefore be
able to maximise the revenue coming
from other countries. A special mention
goes to the operation in Italy, where the
Atresmedia
group's series are enjoying
great success and whose music belongs to
the Publisher
The musical production in the
Irradia
library continues to grow and it now has
more than 2,000 original titles composed
by prestigious musicians from this
country. Its catalogue expansion offers
some very positive results year after year.
Record label: Atresmúsica
During 2015
Atresmedia
's record label
was launched. This is called
Atresmúsica
and its mission is to market and manage
its own phonographic rights, as well
as market, in a joint venture with other
labels, its repertoire in physical or digital
format.
It also exploits the rights to the
soundtracks from films, series and theme
tunes produced for
Atresmedia
.
In just a few months
Atresmúsica
has
managed to position two artists in the
top 10 best-selling song list. It has also
developed the official theme tune for
Champions Total and, during December,
it launched the new hit from Pablo
Alborán included in the soundtrack of
the
Atresmedia Cine
film
Palmeras en la
nieve
.
Among other projects, in 2016 the
soundtrack of
El secreto de Puente Viejo
was launched with a song sung by Ana
Belén, in Spanish and Italian.
