Sony Restructures Rosters, Promo Teams

August 31, 2011/in Featured, Radio /by contributor

Sony Nashville notified radio programmers today (8/31) of changes to the label group’s imprints Arista Nashville, Columbia/BNA Records, and RCA Records. This restructuring affects promotion department team members and shuffles some artist’s label homes.

Among the changes:

• Miranda Lambert, Pistol Annies, and Josh Thompson are moved to RCA from Columbia.

• Columbia and BNA have combined.

• Regional rep shuffle: Columbia Midwest regional promo rep Bo Martinovich will assume Midwest region duties for Columbia/BNA. Columbia Dir. Field Promotion David Friedman will segue to the Southeast region for Columbia/BNA. BNA SE Regional Chris Waters will now move to the SW Regional position under the Arista imprint. Columbia West Coast regional Larry Santiago will continue working the West Coast under RCA.

This comes in the wake of last week’s lay-offs at Sony Nashville, and are part of a company-wide restructuring following Doug Morris taking office as CEO.

This story is being updated in real time.
