Who is likely to buy BMG Music Publishing now that Bertelsmann has put it up for sale?
David Ferguson, Bacs
"One of the most likely outcomes is that a management buyout will take place, probably backed with cash from venture capitalists, mainly because of the competition issues. Maybe the Academy will put a bid in."
David Loader, Notting Hill Music
"We're going to take a serious look, but expect formidable competition from Universal. Is it just a coincidence Les Bider joined Elevation Partners this week?"
Richard Holley, Peer Music
"With BMG performing so well, the company might provide a very interesting proposition for private equity firms or, perhaps, a management buy-out is a possibility. If monopoly issues can be overcome an offer from another major publisher would be a logical option."
