Description
If you watch TV, chances are you've heard production music. It's used in the background during scene transitions and opening and closing credits of TV programs, commercials, films, and radio.
This catalog of production music earns from a variety of placements in recognizable TV series ranging from “America’s Next Top Model” to MTV’s “Pimp My Ride” and “Cribs.” That means anytime these TV series that include this music are streamed online or air on a network, you collect royalties!
Production music usage is seeing a significant uptake thanks to the digital content boom, with Production Music Association’s Joe Saba calling it a “$1 billion global industry hidden in plain sight.” Right now, demand for this type of music is at an all-time high.

How does this asset make money?
Every time a network airs a television show that uses any of the songs in this catalog, a public performance royalty is generated. This means every time Un Nuevo Día or any other show, uses a music from this catalog and airs on TV, you will earn money. ASCAP makes payments quarterly and the first distribution you will receive is May 2018.
Royalty Exchange will administer the quarterly payments from ASCAP. The first distribution for the May 2018 ASCAP statement will be paid in June.
Unless the buyer opts out of the opportunity, this listing will automatically be relisted as a "Buy It Now" sale at a premium over the closing price. The relisted asset will remain live until it is purchased, or until its first royalty distribution. This gives the winning bidder the chance to earn an immediate return on the asset while awaiting the first royalty payment.
