Valence Media and WGA controversy
On February 1, 2018, Eldridge Industries formed Valence Media, a new media company consisting of Media Rights Capital, The Hollywood Reporter, Dick Clark Productions, and Billboard. Later that year, MRC affiliated with United Talent Agency to form a new entity, Civic Center Media, to develop package deals that compensated agents by providing a stake in projects rather than paying a commission. The Writers Guild of America created a new policy banning agency packaging, and UTA responded by filing a lawsuit claiming antitrust violations.
