[Fmpro] HGTV

[Merritt Music Productions LLC]

Hey all,

It's supposed to be a 'direct license' for everything.  They only use their
own music for their content, ie. Shows and promos.  Commercials are normal
and have non-scripps composed music.  But I was not aware that any composer
had every been paid by a PRO for content on Scripps.  Kerry, are you SURE
that what showed up on your cue sheet is a performance on Food or HGTV?  I
will try to look into this and see how this is possible (don't worry, I
won't get you unpaid...)

I left Scripps and went freelance over a year ago, but still have
connections...

Chris

I didn't know that... I've had music turn up on HGTV as well as Food
Network. 
  But the cues have turned up on my ASCAP statement... maybe they've changed

their tune?
