TORONTO – January 10, 2017 – YANGAROO Inc. (TSX-V:YOO, OTBB:YOOIF), the industry’s leading secure digital media management and distribution company, today announced the signing of a multi-year extension with the Academy of Country Music (ACM). As part of the extension, Academy members will continue to review as well as vote on nominees through the online YANGAROO Awards solution.
