prs-for-musicThe Performing Rights Society for Music is replacing current head honcho Jeremy Fabinyi on 25 January with Robert Ashcroft, a former Disney and Sony exec. Ashcroft headed Sony’s network services division in Europe, and its mobile products arm in the US.

The PRS is hoping that years of music and tech experience will help them meet the challenges of the digital age, we’ll have to wait and see whether old media sensibilities are adaptable enough to keep the rights agency in the rapidly changing game.
