The BBC has now licensed its priceless archives to EMI Music, part of a two-way deal emerging Wednesday. The catalog cross-licensing gives EMI access to its artists across the vast collection of BBC television and radio programming. In turn, the BBC now has the keys to the formidable EMI Music vault, a collection that includes David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Frank Sinatra, Coldplay, and the Rolling Stones. The Beatles are reportedly covered by a separate arrangement.
The deal simply allows for the creation of broader entertainment productions, without the added licensing hassle. In a typical pre-deal scenario, EMI would control a set of recordings for an artist, but not the live performance footage. The BBC would face a similar dilemma, holding the cards on the reverse set of rights.
The five-year agreement allows EMI to make use of the BBC content across various formats, including DVDs, CDs, and downloads. Similarly, the BBC can exploit the EMI catalog for its various programming endeavors. Aside from the content swap, the deal also allows the companies to collaborate on various projects.
