“The King of Queens” — Theme Music & More

This asset earns from music written for the popular comedy The King of Queens, including the well-known theme song “Baby All My Life I Will Be (Driving Home to You).” 

The King of Queens premiered on CBS in September 1998 and ran through May 2007, with a total of nine seasons and 207 episodes. The royalties are generated from the theme music (both the opening and closing themes) and from the original underscore (commonly referred to as "cues") composed for scenes throughout each episode. 

The series has been airing widely in syndication since 2006 on numerous cable networks in the United States. Currently, the series is available to stream on the premium Peacock app and airs frequently on Fox and The CW affiliates, MyNetworkTV, CMT, TV Land, A&E, and FYI channels. Internationally, the series airs in Australia, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Austria, among others. In the last 12 months, 85% of royalties for this catalog came from domestic (U.S.) airings of the series. 

It’s important to take into consideration that if The King of Queens begins to air less frequently on syndicate networks or stops airing at all, public performance royalties for this catalog would decrease.

One compelling feature of this asset is that it collects royalties from two performing rights societies: BMI and SESAC. This means the winning bidder will collect two sets of quarterly payments for a total of eight (8) distributions per year.

This catalog will not be automatically added to the Secondary Market of The eXchange. The winning bidder can contact Royalty Exchange to inquire about a relist.
