Description
Up for auction is an award-winning composers collection of production music featured across MTV network programming. Honored with SESAC’s Cable Performance Award for 7 years running, this composer has established a strong catalog with established placements across dozens of reality series. From Teen Mom 2 to Ridiculousness and more, in the last 12 months, this catalog produced $85,507.
The MTV franchise Teen Mom contributes to nearly half of this collection’s earnings over the last year. The series regularly airs up to four reruns prior to each new episode every Monday night on MTV. In fact, multiple reruns and a new episode are set to air this week. As the winning bidder, you would be due these earnings. A new season of the series is set to air October 1st.
Nearly 10% of this collection’s earnings in the last 12 months are attributable to the Rob Dyrdek franchise including both Ridiculousness and Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory. Also included in this offering are tracks featured in the MTV series Are You The One?.
Beyond MTV, this collection of works appears on E! Network’s series The Royals. Currently, in its fourth season, The Royals airs on E! and can be streamed on Netflix, Amazon Prime and more.
Finally, it’s worth noting as the winning bidder, you will be entitled to the first royalties from the recently released TV series, Marvel’s The Runaways. Exclusive to the streaming platform Hulu, the 10-episode series was released in late 2017 and these royalties have yet to be paid out.
Key Drivers
Production Libraries. Production music is a vital part of the TV & radio industry. In fact, Production Music Association's Joe Saba called it a "$1 billion global industry hidden in plain sight." Right now, demand for music in TV shows, films, & commercials is tremendous. To meet their needs for all these uses, brands and production house often turn to production music libraries like Extreme Music and Position Music, to find music more efficiently and cost effective than licensing commercial music.
Songs in this catalog are part of both production libraries, Extreme and Position, which are solicited by brands & production houses. If additional placements are found for this music, you will earn royalties without having to do any of the work!
