AOL Time Warner to sell Warner Music Group?

[RichFactWebmistress]

In this article at Yahoo, it says they might. Read:
story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=599&ncid=762&e=9&u=/nm/20030715/media_nm/media_aol_warnermusic_dc

And since we know Filter is on Reprise, a sub-division of Warner Music Group, it can be big news possibly.

Oooo!!

I'll have a nose round my end of the industry and see what I can dig up...

I found this in the Media section of the Guardian:

hahaha it's always fun to watch a multi-billion dollar corporation fall to its knees. I would love to see Walmart do the same thing.... McDonalds is already slipping. Have you noticed their new ad campaigns? Ugh whoever thought that that marketting slant would work must be doing some really bad meth.

Back to the Warner for sale thing, I liked this part of the article:

"The second bid came from Cinram International, a Canadian entity, the report said. "

hell yes! now that'd be great... Canada actually becoming part of big time music recording south of the border : )

Thanks for the article, RFW.

Apparently this has been in negotiation for some time (as these things often are...)
