Key Drivers
Production Music Libraries. Production music is a vital part of the TV & radio industry. In fact, the 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. Licensing production music from music libraries like this is more efficient and cost-effective than licensing commercial music.
Songs in this catalog stem from such production libraries as MegaTrax, Elias Music, Wild Whirled Music and more. Whenever production groups are creating new content -- a TV program, commercial or film -- they look for music within vast production music libraries, like the above. As the winner of this auction, you will benefit from these songs being part of multiple large production libraries and receive royalties whenever they are used.
International Earnings. Much of this catalog’s earnings come from abroad — including Brazil, Germany, the UK, and more. As the winner of this auction, you’ll be entitled to international performance royalties paid by BMI, regardless of when they were earned.
