Hypothetical...

Let's assume Jody's prediction that the major networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) won't use non-exclusive/retitling libraries in a few years. There are still near a thousand stations in the US that need music 24/7 (not to mention thousands of TV stations worldwide). Most of these music supervisors could give a hoot where the music comes from as long as it works in their projects.

The Internet has changed the Music Industry. It's no longer controlled by a hand full of people. Cable has done the same thing to TV. No, the non-exclusives/retitlers aren't going away. There are many other ball games in town besides the Majors.

The best business model for a new-coming TV composer today is to circulate their music 50/50 in both exclusive and non-exclusive libraries. Cover all the bases.
