Hyperion sold to Universal?

[Andrew Slater]

Apparently an announcement is due today, and Hyperion is to be guaranteed its independence, according to Slipped Disc.

That does at least sound a good deal more positive than one has been led to believe; an announcement today coincidental with the UK Budget might seem to sound like questionable timing but, if its team is to continue more or less as it has done for years and its artists to remain on its books, the consequences of the sale could have been a whole lot worse...

I wonder if Universal want to stream their catalogue?

I've just noticed for the first time that the Hyperion website now has a button linking recordings to Spotify and other streamers.
