Island Drops Stolen Transmission

From Kevin Kampwirth, CMJ

Island Def Jam has parted ways with Stolen Transmission, the imprint started by Sarah Lewitinn, aka Ultragrrrl. In a posting on her popular blog, Lewitinn remarked that "Our departure from IDJ had nothing to do with the performance of our artists (we were a label focused on developing artists—an artform often not practiced in A&R). Our departure was due to restructuring." Lewitinn founded Stolen Transmission in 2005, partnering with IDJ and Rob Stevenson, an IDJ A&R executive.
