[Fmpro] HGTV

[Phil Kelly]

This HGTV operation really sounds like the manner in which the radio 
jingle syndication companies in Dallas and Memphis used to operate in 
the 50s 60s : all composers on staff, ( as well as singers and 
musicians in some cases )
working on a  base salary with no ownership of the product, and in many 
cases, no additional payment for the recording sessions they did for 
the company.

Hence, the birth of the term: "jingle mill "
