===Ownership Changes and Decline (1999–2010)===

London Records' parent company [[PolyGram]] was acquired by [[Universal Music Group]] in 1998–1999. London chairman Roger Ames, who had operated the label as a semi-autonomous entity within PolyGram, moved to [[Warner Music Group]] as chairman and CEO, and London — along with FFRR — moved with him. New releases continued through 2001 and slowed to a trickle through 2002–2003, as the rise of digital downloading and file sharing began eroding traditional revenue models for dance singles. Pete Tong increasingly focused on his BBC Radio 1 ''Essential Selection'' programme, which had made him the UK's most prominent dance music broadcaster, and day-to-day label operations wound down. From 2003 to 2011, FFRR activity was limited to sporadic reissues and compilations.
