CLEARWATER, Fla., June 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Applied Media Technologies Corporation has established an emergency relief program for customers of Mood Media (also known as Muzak), which filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York on May 18, 2017. Under the terms of the program, any business that can provide documentation that they were a Mood customer at the time they went bankrupt can obtain a free digital media player to allow them to restore music in their business at a rate of $19.95 per month. The media player is normally $299, and allows integration of digital signage, video and audio marketing messages with the background music.
Joshua Pedecone, Director of Sales for AMTC, explained the program. "Ever since Muzak went bankrupt, we've been slammed with calls from desperate businesses looking for replacement music. They love that our rate is less than $20 a month, but some struggle with having to buy a media player. Not having music isn't going to shut you down, but most businesses think music is important, and they're panicking. We decided to eat the cost of the player to make their transition easier."
Barbie Brox, a former Mood Media Account Executive who came to work for AMTC after the collapse, said, "It was so sad to see them go under, but I'm proud that AMTC has stepped up so the customers don't suffer."
