dbo:abstract
  • Muzak es una marca de música de fondo que se reproduce en tiendas minoristas y otros establecimientos públicos. El nombre ha estado en uso desde 1934 y desde entonces ha sido propiedad de una división o subsidiaria de otra compañía. En 1981, Westinghouse compró la empresa y la dirigió hasta venderla a la Fields Company de Chicago, editoras del Chicago Sun-Times, el 8 de septiembre de 1986.​ Anteriormente propiedad de Muzak Holdings, la marca fue adquirida en 2011 por Mood Media en un acuerdo por valor de 345 millones de dólares.​​ La palabra Muzak es una marca registrada desde el 21 de diciembre de 1954, propiedad de Muzak LLC,​ y aunque dominó el mercado durante varios años, el término se usa a menudo (especialmente cuando se usa con ortografía en minúsculas) como un nombre genérico para denominar todo tipo de música de fondo.​ La palabra Muzak, al menos en los Estados Unidos, se usa a menudo como un término para referirse a la mayoría de las formas de música de fondo, independientemente de la fuente de la música, y también puede ser conocido como "música de elevador" o "música de ascensor". Aunque Muzak Holdings fue durante muchos años el proveedor más conocido de música de fondo y se asocia comúnmente con la música de ascensor, la propia empresa no suministró música a los ascensores. Desde 1997, Muzak ha utilizado el trabajo de artistas originales como su fuente musical,​ excepto en el canal Environmental.​ (es)

Muzak was based in various Seattle, Washington locations from 1986 to 1999, after which it moved its headquarters to South Carolina in 2000. The word Muzak has been a registered trademark since December 21, 1954, of Muzak LLC. In the United States, due in part to the company’s market dominance, Muzak has come to be used to refer to most forms of background music, regardless of source. It may also be referred to as "elevator music" or "lift music". Though Muzak Holdings was for many years the best-known supplier of background music, and is commonly associated with elevator music, the company itself did not supply music to elevators. Since 1997, Muzak has used original artists for its music, except on its Environmental channel. (en)
