Vevo’s quartet of owners — Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, the Abu Dhabi Media Group, and Google — are no longer interested in selling the company.
Citing multiple sources familiar with the ownership group’s thinking, the New York Post reports that the owners believe they’re better off keeping the company in-house, excited about the growth prospects of a platform that already reaches close to 41.7 million unique viewers per month in the U.S. alone {link no longer active}.
