"CMU provides an insightful, independent and often funny look at the industry, we love it!"
Peter Quicke, MD, Ninja Tune
   
"CMU Daily never fails to raise a wry smile and leave me feeling freshly informed and newly opinionated"
Mike Walsh, Deputy Programme Director/Head of Music, Xfm
   
"CMU provide an informative and highly entertaining music news service, so detailed and reliable that I often wonder how they get it all done"
Debbie Ball, Owner, Create Spark
   
"Thank God for CMU. In five minutes every day I can get an overview of what I NEED to know and avoid what I don’t. It streamlines my life"
Stephen Budd, Founder, SBM & SuperVision Management
   
"It’s vital to keep your finger on the pulse with the events that are shaping our industry, and as such the snapshot view that my CMU Daily provides has been invaluable to both me and my team"
Benji Rogers, Founder & CEO, PledgeMusic
   
"The CMU Daily is my absolute number one source for industry news. With time being very much of the essence, CMU gives me the daily news I need in a succinct, informative and lighthearted manner – the perfect combination!"
Ali Anselmo, Freelance Music Booker, ITV/BBC/C4/MTV
   
"CMU gives me well informed industry news without the assumption that I’m an idiot or expert. It’s witty, wry and insightful, making it an enjoyable and informative read. I’d recommend it to anyone inside or outside the industry and, to be honest, I probably already have"
Dan le Sac
   
"Who has the time to trawl through all the media pages of news websites and news pages of media websites? CMU does it for you, delivering the information in an orderly, easy-to-skim, informative, irreverent and essential way. If you are in any way involved in the music or media industries, the CMU Daily is indispensable"
Marsha Shandur, radio DJ and music supervisor
   
"Sadly there are precious few mails in my inbox that could be described as consistently informative, concise and intelligent. Fortunately – along with a sprinkling of new music tips, listings and job vacancies – the CMU Daily regularly manages to deliver relevant, detailed (and frequently witty) news and analysis from an industry that can often be both unfathomably complex and faintly ridiculous"
Jon Hillcock, radio DJ and New Noise podcast host
   
"The CMU Daily is quite simply essential reading and it baffles me why anyone who has the slightest bit of involvement within the music industry wouldn’t sign up to receive it. Everything you need to know written in informative and humorous prose. And if you can’t be arsed to read it you can just listen to the podcast on Friday"
Simon Pursehouse, Director Of Music Services, Sentric Music
   
"I’ve picked up on a number of new artists as a result of the CMU Daily, ones that I probably would not have been exposed to otherwise. The commentary is witty, entertaining and on point, exactly what people are really thinking but not saying elsewhere. And it’s a great one stop shop for me to catch up on what’s happening in the industry, especially internationally as that’s my area of work here at BMI. So a thumbs up for the great work, looking forward to tomorrow’s edition!"
Jennifer A Devitt, Director International, BMI
