Music Reports was originally formed as a joint venture with the Television Music License Committee to assist local television stations in their legal effort to obtain workable Per Program Licenses from the performing rights societies. Music Reports was instrumental in developing data regarding the stations’ use of music in their different program genres, as well as in helping the Committee demonstrate the feasibility of an efficient and inexpensive per program license service. Music Reports now operates independently of the TVMLC and provides ASCAP, BMI and SESAC per program license administration services to hundreds of stations owned by the leading broadcast groups in the country. In its capacity as a per program administrator, Music Reports tracks and researches music uses, calculates license fees, resolves suspense and dispute issues and electronically submits monthly reports to ASCAP, BMI and SESAC. Music Reports also actively assists stations in the negotiation and administration of source and direct licenses covering music used in local and syndicated television programming.

Stations interested in a free Per Program Analysis Report that will illustrate the potential savings that may be available from the ASCAP, BMI and SESAC per program licenses should contact Kate Cross at 818-558-1400.
