Stingray’s Continues Growth Strategy in Commercial Music 

Stingray Digital, a worldwide leading provider of multiplatform music services, announced today that it has acquired 100% of the shares of Intertain Media, a Winnipeg-based company providing digital media services to commercial businesses across Canada. The terms of the deal between the two private companies were not announced.

“Stingray Digital’s commercial music and digital media services for businesses is an important area of focus for the growth of our company,” commented Eric Boyko, President and CEO of Stingray Digital. “We recognize that achieving scale in this business allows us to develop and deliver best-in-class services to our customers. The acquisition of Intertain helps us achieve this goal,” he added.

“With Stingray being the largest background music provider in Canada, we are confident that our clients will be well served and benefit from an innovative and fast growing national company like Stingray,” commented Bill Baines, President of Intertain.

Stingray Digital’s commercial music services currently serve more than 61,000 commercial locations in Canada, and this acquisition will add more than 600 new locations and key customers. Intertain’s customers for in-store music and on-hold messaging include Newfoundland Liquor Corporation, Sleep Country Canada, Dormez-Vous, Holt Renfrew and Crane Supply.

Stingray Digital is the largest provider of music services in Canada both for residential use through the Galaxie music service delivered to more than 10 million homes in Canada and enjoyed by 60% of Canadians on a regular basis, and for commercial use with now more than 61,000 commercial locations receiving Stingray Digital-produced music programming.
