Stingray (TSX: RAY.A; RAY.B), a leader in music, video content
distribution, business services, and advertising solutions, proudly
announces the acquisition of
The Coda Collection,
a premier music-focused streaming platform. This strategic move
solidifies Stingray's position as the leading provider of concert
streaming on the world’s most popular platforms.
Launched in February 2021, The Coda Collection is available
exclusively on Prime Video Channels in the US and UK, with
subscriptions priced at $4.99 and £3.99 per month, respectively. It
spans various genres, showcasing iconic moments in music history
through storytelling. The exclusive collection has included
world-premiere films such as the Grammy-nominated Music, Money,
Madness: Jimi Hendrix In Maui, together with acclaimed original
productions such as Home Again: Carole King Live In Central Park
and a curated library of legendary performances and documentaries.
The Coda Collection has been the home for previously unseen
archival footage from legendary artists such as Aretha Franklin,
Muddy Waters, and Marvin Gaye, as well as exclusive concert
performances from artists such as Marcus King and the Rolling
Stones. Additionally, The Coda Collection offers rich editorial
content on its desktop and mobile sites, providing new perspectives
on artists, music, and cultural contexts.
"We are thrilled to welcome The Coda Collection to the Stingray
family," said Mathieu Péloquin, Senior Vice President,
Marketing and Communications at Stingray. "This
acquisition aligns perfectly with our strategy to enhance our
portfolio of music streaming services and solidify our leadership
in concert streaming on Amazon platforms. The Coda Collection's
unique content and editorial approach will complement our existing
offerings and help us reach new audiences. Over the next few
months, we will bring new and exciting content to subscribers of
the Coda Collection".
This acquisition marks a significant step in Stingray's growth
strategy, reinforcing its commitment to delivering unparalleled
music experiences to audiences worldwide. The Coda Collection joins
Stingray’s other popular streaming services, Qello Concerts,
