Montreal-based Stingray has announced the acquisition of The Coda Collection, a music-focused streaming platform.
Launched in February 2021, The Coda Collection is available exclusively on Prime Video Channels in the U.S. and UK, with subscriptions priced at US$4.99 and £3.99 per month, respectively. It spans various genres, showcasing iconic moments in music history through storytelling.
The exclusive collection has included world-premiere films like the Grammy-nominated Music, Money, Madness: Jimi Hendrix In Maui, together with acclaimed original productions like Home Again: Carole King Live In Central Park and a curated library of legendary performances and documentaries.
The Coda Collection has been the home for previously unseen archival footage from legendary artists like Aretha Franklin, Muddy Waters, and Marvin Gaye, as well as exclusive concert performances from artists like Marcus King and the Rolling Stones. Additionally, The Coda Collection offers editorial content on its desktop and mobile sites, providing new perspectives on artists, music, and cultural contexts.
“We are thrilled to welcome The Coda Collection to the Stingray family,” says Mathieu Péloquin, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications at Stingray. “This acquisition aligns perfectly with our strategy to enhance our portfolio of music streaming services and solidify our leadership in concert streaming on Amazon platforms.
“The Coda Collection’s unique content and editorial approach,” he continues, “will complement our existing offerings and help us reach new audiences. Over the next few months, we will bring new and exciting content to subscribers of the Coda Collection.”
This acquisition marks a step in Stingray’s growth strategy. The Coda Collection joins Stingray’s other popular streaming services, Qello Concerts, Stingray Karaoke, Stingray Classica, and Stingray DJAZZ.
