WaterTower Music Inc. (formerly New Line Records from 2000 to 2010) is an American record label serving as the in-house music label run by entertainment company Warner Bros., ultimately owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (formerly known as Time Warner). The name and logo are based on the iconic Warner Bros. Water Tower.
History
It was founded in 2000 as New Line Records by Jason Linn. New Line Records initially signed several rock and pop artists, like with the other record labels owned by Time Warner's music division Warner Music Group. It also released soundtrack albums for films from its namesake Warner-studio New Line Cinema, with these albums including songs from artists signed to New Line Records.
In November 2003, it was announced that Time Warner were selling Warner Music Group to private investors, with the deal being finalized early the following year. New Line Records and its catalog were not part of the sale. On January 15, 2010, New Line Records changed its name to WaterTower Music with Linn now also reporting to Paul Broucek the president of music at Warner Bros. Pictures. Following the name change, the label stopped focusing on releasing music by rock and pop artists, becoming a label solely dedicated to releasing soundtracks for Warner films. The label also holds the rights to soundtrack albums released on MGM Records (which went defunct in 1982), as Time Warner gained the rights to MGM's pre-May 1986 film library in 1996. However, the rights to the non-film related albums released on MGM Records are controlled by Universal Music Group.
In March 2010, the label switched distribution from Warner Music Group's Alternative Distribution Alliance to Fontana, Universal Music Group's independent distributor.
In 2019, the distribution changed back to ADA, effectively reuniting WMG with former parent Warner Bros.
