IB on Sony
SOME SONY NEWS: Meanwhile, back at Sony Music headquarters, waiting for Doug Morris' arrival, Rob Stringer and Steve Barnett are locked into jointly running Columbia despite uninformed opinions to the contrary. Also, Peter Edge, Tom Corson and Joe Riccitelli are all set within a merged RCA/Jive, while Ivan Gavin and Richard Palmese’s roles remain uncertain. Tom Carrabba is believed to still be going to L.A. Reid’s Epic. Look for longtime Morris colleague Mel Lewinter to also be part of the new Sony team, having just left his job running UMRG. Finally, those persistent rumors that Tom Whalley may have a role there are nothing more than that—rumors. Look for him to concentrate instead on trying to lower his handicap to single digits. (6/2p)
