Notes to Editors
Based at Pinewood Studios, One Media is an 'intellectual
property' (IP) owner and/or controller of rights within the digital
arena concerning music, video and digital distribution. It is a B2B
(business-to-business) operation, that is consumer led which looks
to exploit its catalogue of over 250,000 music tracks and over
10,000 hours of video by recompiling its content for download,
streaming and sub licensing through over 600 digital music and
video stores worldwide.
The Group has a team of Creative Technicians, all of whom are
YouTube certified, who digitise the content, create the metadata,
re-compile and prepare the digital music & video releases using
bespoke in-house developed software. Additionally, One Media makes
its library of content available for TV shows, movies, adverts and
websites requiring synchronised music. One Media focuses on music
performed by well-known artists from every genre, including pop,
rock, reggae, R&B, children's music, karaoke, jazz, soul,
blues, rap, hip-hop, gospel and world-music, plus stand-up comedy
and spoken-word. In July 2014 the
Group acquired, for a consideration of USD$1.6m, the Point Classics classical music
library bringing the number to over 10,000 classical tracks now
available to the Group for exploitation. The Group owns all the
rights to the Men & Motors (originally Granada/ITV) TV shows
originally aired on British TV between 1996 and 2010. Comprising
over 3,500 shows, Men & Motors is available for viewing on the
Group’s YouTube Channel.
Recently the Group has developed a content discovery and
policing software service, 'Technical Copyright Analysis Tool'
(TCAT), as a new service to record companies, publishers and law
firms searching information of artists and tracks on legitimate
digital stores. One Media has been previously eligible for
Enterprise Investment Schemes ("EIS") and Venture Capital Trusts
("VCT").
