Big Jon, more speculation

PLATT DU JOUR: Cross off a reunion at Sony/ATV with his old EMI Music boss Martin Bandier for red-hot free agent Big Jon Platt, who climaxed a 17-year stint at his old home by accepting Publisher of the Year honors at Friday night’s ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Awards, the 18th consecutive win for the pubbery. Expect Platt to announce he’s taking a high-level job that would combine both publishing and label responsibilities, which leaves only UMG and WMG as possible destinations. (7/3a)
