The Television Music License Committee is a non-profit association that represents all full-power, commercial television stations in the United States and its territories in negotiations for music performing rights licenses that stations sign with the Performing Rights Organizations (the PROs), ASCAP, BMI and SESAC. We design the method of allocating industry-wide fees among all of the stations licensed by the PROs (the vast majority of local television stations), subject to agreement of the PRO or court approval and then perform this calculation of fees. After stations sign their license agreements, we try to help resolve problems between stations and the PRO's when they arise. We are the station's advocate.
