Description

You can’t turn on the TV for more than 30 seconds without hearing some sort of production music. Production music is the background or transition music you hear during shows and commercials on TV or the radio. This is your opportunity to invest in a catalog of 691 tracks of production music that earned $3,548 in the last 12 months.

The top source of income for this catalog of production music is Girl Code, a show that has earned royalties every quarter since 2014. This isn't just a one-off placement, there are at 5 other shows that have continued to generate royalties quarter after quarter for this catalog, such as True Life and Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

Many of the tracks in this catalog are available for use in the NBCUniversal database as part of the Viacom database. This allows NBCUniversal to use these tracks in any of its future programming. Also included are tracks that are licensed by Jingle Punks, a music publisher and licensing company that will work to find new placements for this music in upcoming television programming. That's good news for you... because when new placements are found for any of these songs, you will earn additional royalties!
