I realized something.
« on: November 22, 2008, 01:03:56 AM »
I caught a couple of minutes of 20/20 tonight, and I heard the same music used for some segments on EE. Could it be that TWC had to buy the rights to play that music or is a free use agreement?

They most assuredly had to buy the rights. Nothing comes free.  :D

I thought so. I rarely ever see 20/20, so hearing the same tune from EE was a pleasant surprise.

Was it the current music?

It's the music they use in between segments.

You can hear a snippet of it here


It is the music heard at the 0:12 mark

That's not the EE music, it's just one of the production tracks TWC uses, but I've heard it on other channels too.

So, that track is available for other networks to use without monopolizing it?

Okay. It is like if a network wants to use such music for a promo or commercial, for example, can license it for that track to play during that?

For example, this commercial that TWC produced:


Was used in a (I believe it was) Colgate toothpaste commercial.
