On the heels of its successful re-launch earlier this year as the only network devoted exclusively to art and personal creativity, Ovation TV has acquired Universal Music Group’s (UMG) International Music Feed (IMF).
The purchase of IMF from Universal Music Group, a subsidiary of Vivendi Universal, will provide Ovation TV with access to key resources in the music/arts category which has been a part of its broader approach to presenting programming focusing on art and creativity. As part of the agreement, Universal Music Group will maintain an equity position in Ovation TV. Lazard Freres & Co. acted as financial advisor to Ovation TV in the transaction.
