New! TV per-programme rates

It's easy - APRA|AMCOS's new Per-Programme Production Music licence scheme gives television producers the right to use as much AMCOS controlled Production Music as they like within a programme for the convenience of a one-off flat fee. If you are only using a small amount of PM per episode, you can still license under the standard per unit rates.

What's on offer?

  • Extensive choice - Access to around half a million tracks in all styles and genres- click here for list of libraries >> or here for PM Supplier contact details >>
  • Unlimited usage - Use as much AMCOS controlled Production Music within a programme as you like.
  • Pre-Published rates - No surprises. Lock in the Production Music costs at the budgeting stage.
  • Flexible clearances - Any medium, anywhere in the world. Or take the All Media, World option up-front.
  • Savings on production music costs - The per-programme (per episode) rates are a great discount on the standard per unit rates.
  • Easy administration - When you send in the PM cue-sheets they're immediately added to the APRA|AMCOS database.
