Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor Warner Music Group will eliminate 270 positions as part of a wider evolution of the company, new CEO Robert Kyncl announced to the company’s staff in an email obtained by K In order “to take advantage of the opportunities ahead of us, we need to make some hard choices in order to evolve,” according to the memo. It was not immediately clear which positions or divisions will be affected. Warner is the world’s third-largest music company and includes the labels Atlantic, Warner, 300-Elektra, Parlophone, the reissue division Rhino and others, as well as Warner Chappell Music publishing. Kyncl was announced as the new CEO last September and in February took over for Steve Cooper, who left the company after 11 years. Kyncl, who for years had bridged the tech and entertainment worlds in major roles at Netflix — including overseeing the company’s shift to streaming — and YouTube, in which he was pivotal in repairing the streaming giant’s formerly contentious relationships with music companies. His unexpected move into the top position at Warner ushers in a new kind of tech-forward leadership at major labels.
While Kyncl has spoken broadly of the industry’s and the company’s needs to evolve in an ever-changing environment — the financial boom the music business has seen from streaming is leveling off, whether executives admit it or not — he has demurred from specifics, saying he needs to study the situation more thoroughly before making moves. It would appear that Wednesday’s announcement is one of the first such moves. Kyncl’s memo follows below in full: Hi everyone, As I mentioned at our first All-Hands meeting last month, I’m committed to direct and honest communication with all of you. The

EXCLUSIVE: Legendary Entertainment and Veritas Entertainment have struck a first-look television deal and set their first project together – an adaptation of a Lee Childs story.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic In 2002, director Sam Jones made what is widely considered a benchmark for 21st century music documentaries with “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco,” a movie that lucked into just about all the subject matter that could make B-roll footage of the making of an album into A-list material. It had conflict within the band, between an auteur and another member of great talent; conflict with the soon-to-be-ex-record label, over the basically unwanted classic-to-be “Yankee Foxtrot Hotel”); and said auteur doing his own demon-wrestling, outside foils notwithstanding. Now, it’s easier to see that Jones’ good fortune in happening upon all that wasn’t all luck. More than 20 years later, Jones has come up with another gold-standard music doc, in the form of “Jason Isbell: Running With Our Eyes Closed,” newly streaming on HBO Max. This time, as the creation of another amazing record — Isbell’s “Reunions” (recorded in late 2019 and released a few months later) — is put under the filmic microscope, there are no record-company bookkeepers as unseen baddies in the backdrop to a making-of. Major labels and the conflicts that come with them are so 2002, right? But one common thread is intra-band tension… as it probably will be in most good rock docs now or 20 years from now. It gets more interesting than that, though. In this instance, the difficult vibes are between bandmates who double as a married couple — Isbell and his fiddler-spouse, Amanda Shires. Here, unlike the by-now iconic beefing between Jay Tweedy and Jay Bennett, we know no one’s ultimately going anywhere, right?

journalist Graham Bensinger whether there was any truth to the 69-year-old “Happy Days” alum crossing over to the adult film industry, Ron laughed but admitted, “Well, it’s true that it went through my mind.“It endured as a serious idea for probably two and a half to three seconds,” the former child star declared.Specifically, in the 1970s, Howard entertained directing a cheekily-titled skin flick, “Opie Gets Laid” — not to be confused with a same-titled 2005 rom-com — in which the main character’s first name would mirror the one from Ron’s more innocent days on the 1960s sitcom “The Andy Griffith Show.”“Yeah, ‘Opie Gets Laid’ would have probably made Ron a million dollars and he could have gone off and made a movie, but I’m glad he steered away from that because I don’t think anyone really wanted to see Opie get laid,” his brother, actor Clint Howard, 63, separately told Bensinger, covering his eyes. Ron’s daughter, “Jurassic World” star Bryce Dallas Howard, 42, also admitted that she’s relieved her father decided against partaking in porn.
