YANGAROO, Kollector and Federation X Join Forces at New Music
Seminar in New York
Collaboration to provide independent artists and labels with
Global access to broadcasters with ability to monitor airplay in
real-time.
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jun 6, 2014) - YANGAROO Inc.
(TSX-VENTURE:YOO)(OTCBB:YOOIF), the industry's leading secure
digital media distribution company is pleased to announce that it
will be joining forces with European based monitoring company
Kollector and partner Federation X at The New Music Seminar in New
York June 8-10. This collaboration will provide the European
independent music industry with a world-class solution for
delivering music and music videos to radio and television
broadcasters via YANGAROO's Digital Media Distribution System
(DMDS) and also be offered the opportunity to monitor airplay in
real-time via Kollector's monitoring service.
YANGAROO's service is used by over 5000 broadcasters in North
America and is expected to move into Europe and Brazil later this
year. Currently YANGAROO's DMDS delivers over 90% of all music
videos sent to major broadcasters in North America. These include
MTV/VH1, BET, REVOLT, Fuse, Music Choice, MuchMusic, CMT, GAC, and
many more.
It is expected that YANGAROO will offer the Kollector service
beginning in September in North America and the joint
YANGAROO/Kollector service will be available to most of Europe, and
in Brazil later in 2014. No other company offers a comprehensive
service providing the finest digital delivery, plus real-time
reporting, and tracking of airplay. Independent artists based in
European territories will now be able to access North American
radio and video outlets, North American artists will be able to
deliver their music to European broadcasters, and airplay will be
tracked directly and in real-time.
"At last, here comes an affordable and game-changing solution
that can be used by all in the music community: from artists to
labels, from publishers to collecting societies," said Jacques
Krischer CEO, Kollector. "With Kollector, you can now estimate
royalties using a transparent and immediate tool but also have a
precise vision of how well your catalogue is doing on the market,
providing everyone with a remarkable benchmarking weapon and promo
results numbers at the glimpse of an eye!"
"Our vision is of a true Global network where independent
artists and labels can have access to broadcasters, both radio and
video worldwide, and this is the first step," said Cliff Hunt, Vice
Chairman and COO, YANGAROO Inc. "This is the only service that
provides digital delivery, reporting, and real-time monitoring of
airplay."
"With $1B in annually profits publishing is the fastest growing
sector of the music industry. It is estimated the collecting
societies in the world hold billions of dollars in their treasury,
money that haven't been identified and distributed to its rightful
owners. Let's start to identify and claim the money that is already
in circulation," said Torbjorn "Toby" Jorgensen, President of
Federation X Holdings Inc. "We are an umbrella of companies,
services and products that combined will change the industry
ecosystem."
