Universal Music TV

In the past UMTV has also run catalogue campaigns including The Shadows, Status Quo, Tony Christie, Barry White, Sam Cooke and Engelbert Humperdinck.

A small number of individual artists were signed or transferred to this label in the early 2000s, including Malachi Cush, Alistair Griffin and Sam and Mark, though their contracts were terminated when UMTV re-focused on compilations.

In 2007, UMTV launched the Universal Music Record Label (UMRL) for heritage acts. In 2010, UMRL released albums from Simple Minds and A-ha.

UMTV is also associated with sister labels Globe Records, Family Recordings, Manifesto Records and All Around The World (AATW Productions), the last one also running music video channels in the UK.

In 2016, UMTV relaunched as "Universal Music On Demand",[5] with specialised projects, in the first few years of UMOD, including the launch of the British version of Kidz Bop (Kidz Bop Kids),[6] Pete Tong[7] and Jules Buckley's albums of orchestral reworkings of classic dance tracks,[8] and Tommy Blaize's debut album Life & Soul.[9][10] UMOD were also involved with Swedish distribution platform Spinnup, and found Forest of Dean-based singer Devon Cassells on the platform, signing him in order to issue a single called "I Don’t Want 2 B Ur Friend".[11][12][13] Other artists signed to UMOD from Spinnup included A.T. (a London-based Nigerian pop artist) and Italian house producer Manuel Costa.[14][15]

UMOD dance compilation partners AATW Productions also owned and operated four music TV channels on Freeview called Clubland TV, Now 70s, Now 80s and Now 90s, all of which became owned and run by Universal Music after they bought out joint-venture partners Cris Nuttall and Matt Cadman of AATW, with Nuttall and Cadman relaunching their dance music label under the Xploded Music name.
