APRA | AMCOS Bringing music creators & consumers together

APRA|AMCOS's 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.

Please also be aware that if you are producing a TV series or a significant amount of programming per annum, we can discuss 'per series' or 'company blanket' options to suit your requirements. If you would like to find out more please get in touch with the AMCOS team at or 0800 692 772.
