EMI finishes up in Australia

Many staff at EMI across Australia are expected to lose their jobs after the company officially closes for business here.

EMI was sold to Universal back in November 2011 and then 2 weeks ago the Chairman and Senior VP of EMI, Mark Poston, stepped down from his role.

The ACCC recently allowed the merger to go ahead even after AIR (Australian Independent Record Labels Association) expressed their disappointment over the move.

Some UMA staff will move into the EMI offices in coming weeks.

Our thoughts go out to all the EMI staff we have dealt with in radio over the years.
