Production music is the background or transition music you hear during shows and commercials on TV or the radio. You can’t turn on the TV for more than 30 seconds without hearing some sort of production music. Tracks in this catalog have been used in popular shows such as Say Yes to the Dress and Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. These aren't just one-off placements, both of these shows have been consistent sources of income for this catalog earning royalties every quarter since 2013.
Also, many of the tracks in this catalog are licensed by publishers who have an incentive to get placements for these tracks. The publishers make money whenever these songs get placed in television programming. This means you will also benefit ... because when new placements are found for any of these songs, you will earn additional public performance royalties!
