LONDON August 16, 2005 -- Entertainment Rights Plc (“ER”), one of the UK’s leading independent media groups specialising in the ownership of children’s and family programming, characters and brands today announces the appointment of BMG Music Publishing Limited (“BMG”) as its administrator and sub-publisher throughout the world in respect of ER’s music catalogue.

BMG, the world’s largest independent music publisher and third largest overall, will represent ER’s catalogue of music rights worldwide for leading brands including Postman Pat®, Little Red Tractor™, Basil Brush®, He-Man and She-Ra as well as other brands owned or controlled by ER.

The agreement between ER and BMG Music Publishing will further bolster the publisher’s presence in film and television and in particular the growing children’s television market. BMG represents the music catalogues of major film and television companies such as the BBC, Fremantle, Talkback Thames and Famous Music (the catalogue of Paramount Pictures) to name a few and many other Indies such as Tiger Aspect and Wall to Wall.

In addition to the worldwide music publishing agreement, Sony BMG will release a children’s CD and DVD compilation on 22nd August entitled ‘Playtime!’ which includes ER characters Postman Pat®, Basil Brush® and Little Red Tractor™.

Jane Smith, Group Commercial Director, Entertainment Rights commented:

“Today’s agreement with BMG opens up significant opportunities in the music publishing arena for ER and its brands. We are only just beginning to unlock the potential of our brands in this area and this deal highlights the appeal of our extensive catalogue. We look forward to a rewarding partnership with BMG.”
