This deal will allow us to continue to provide exceptional production support to our creators while bringing the very best music to our members around the world,” stated Netflix Vice President, Dominic Houston.

“When the most technologically savvy entertainment company in the world chooses your platform to manage its precious music rights, that’s an endorsement. We are delighted to extend our successful collaboration with Netflix,” says BMG CEO Hartwig Masuch.
