IB tease--Ron Fair

FAIR WITH A CHANCE OF SONY: I.B. Bad's latest column contains a series of scoops regarding high-level label execs. Here's a sample: "Ron Fair’s deal is up, and he’s leaving his presidency at Geffen, where he worked with such IGA acts as the Pussycat Dolls,Mary J. Blige, Keyshia Cole and Semi Precious Weapons. The veteran executive/staff producer will remain part of Jimmy Iovine’s American Idol team. Also entering the picture is David Foster, who has made a huge deal atUMG. Will he have the kind of yank that Fair did, or will UMG be able to keep both Foster and Fair busy, the latter in a nonexclusive role? Or could Fair also be headed to 55th and Madison?" There's more where that came from, and you can jump right to it from here. (5/6a)
