BBC U-turn results in Alliance contract with BBC Enterprises
AFTER MANY years during which the BBC refused to accept that any
sizeable CD, tape and video market existed for their thousands of
recordings of religious material, a U turn in their position has
resulted in Alliance Music being offered a contract with BBC
Enterprises. Under the deal, Alliance will, according to their MD Ian
Hamilton, be releasing "eight to 10 audio releases a year and probably
a similar number of video products." One of the first releases will be
the Songs Of Praise programme recorded at the Old Trafford football
ground.
