Regarding Christopher's comment:

Prediction: look for Elektra and Atlantic to be merged into 
one label next year, with a LOT of layoffs, a major amount
of consolidation, etc. The west coast offices of Atlantic are 
currently on the 3rd floor of the bldg. I work in; a smaller 
Elektra west coast staff share space with WMG on the 
2nd floor (in Burbank). In New York, the Elektra offices
are moving from their current location (75 Rockefeller Center)
into the same bldg. that Atlantic are currently in. This is
happening right after the holidays, I think. So, I wouldn't
say that Atlantic's going to become a "boutique indie" but
technically, Warner Music Group *will* become an
independently owned company.
