I believe Nelson holds the copyright for the NKJV Bible.
I hope they don't follow Zondervan's example and destroy it like the NIV Bible.

By way of that, I have heard that a major publisher of contemporary "praise and worship" music is owned by Seagrams.

Certainly reflected in Pat Robertson’s sale of CBN, now a cesspool of godlessness masquerading as “ABC Family”. What if instead Robertson had plowed profit back into becoming a “CBN Family” cable outlet?

That sounds like a good pairing. "Turn to page 34 and let's sing together . . . Seagrams, Golden Wine Coolers . . . Seagrams . . . "
