You try the Internet Archive for screen shots of their web sites. That may help. Here’s the one for ProductionTrax

I’m pushing mine to 9 now.
I can’t see how it matters, as long as you can share functioning links.
I had this conversation with BMI back 2013. BMI’s reply was:
“BMI can only process promo data as they receive it.” In other words they rely on the networks to submit the data. Majors generally do but smaller ones usually do not.
It would most likely be by making personal contacts with TV production companies. That’s how it has worked for us. Granted we have had only a couple but I’m not great at networking or cold calling.
You can find them here https://musiclibraryreport.com/music-pitching/mdiio/
Sound recordings submitted should be original, unique, and distinct, and must not contain any open or unlicensed samples, sound effects, sound bites – or purchased beats, royalty-free music, or the like.
Reads to me that it’s okay as long as licensed and not in the open.
Not yet.
I agree with Jalisetan. I’ve noticed the same and always thought they were promos for another show.
I would be cautious if you can’t a clear understanding of your concerns (and terms) from the library.
I believe your answer is here:
1. “BMI does not recognize the registration of arrangements of works still protected by copyright.”
AFAIK you can only register an arrangement of a Public Domain Song (and we have).
You pretty much want to stay away from those shows as they seldom pay any back end end royalties. 615 Music was a provider of music for them but don’t know if they still are.
Use the below link to view a lot of discussion about those shows and Scripps, the original owner, now owned by the Discovery channel.
Been using Chris (Rident) for a few years now and get payments 2 to 3 times a year. Hard to say how that compares to what NRG would pay.
Their support is terrible but:
Why don’t you just resubmit them? I submit mine using the bulk import option. Download the template, fill it out and upload.
