Description
Here's a chance to bid on a catalog that contains music used across diverse TV placements, ranging from sportscasts, reality TV shows, and network and cable dramas. In the last 12 months, it's earned $8,793 in royalties.
This catalog has an eight-year earning history with royalties steadily increasing each year since 2010. You can also see the growth within the last four quarters' of royalties: rising from $1,880 in Q2 2016 to $3,072 in Q1 2017... growth of 63%!
Highlights for the catalog again stretch across a few genres. First notable placement includes music used in the pre/post game shows for the NBA and NHL. Specifically, the two titles “Court Life" and "On Fire" are used during national and local affiliate broadcasts, most recognizable network being Fox Sports. These two tracks are usually used during highlight segments. In fact, the highest earning show over the last 12 months is the 2016-2017 NBA Basketball programs.
Bringing in the majority of earnings are placements across countless reality TV series. Popular cable shows include VH1's Love and Hip-Hop, Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta (among others), MTV's Catfish: The TV Show — which has shown significant growth of over 167% in 12 months — and E's Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Not to be forgotten are the network and cable series placements. Such shows as Showtime's Ray Donovan, CBS's Madam Secretary and Scorpion, NBC's Access Hollywood and Starz's Power have used music from this catalog. A few of these placements contain vocals, which is not as common with most production music. Check out the "Media" tab to hear samples.

2.) Diversity. This catalog's earnings come entirely from TV, but they come from a variety of TV show genres. This could be an attractive feature to an investor, as its earning sources include sports programs, reality TV, network dramas and premium cable shows.
3.) This auction is for 33% of the songwriter's share, while the seller is retaining a 66% share. This means that they still hold a vested interest in the catalog and both their publisher and the production music libraries the music is included in, will still continue to work the catalog.
