BBC TV’S BLANKET BAN ON U.S. MUSIC

7/22/16

The BBC is said to have issued what is virtually a blanket ban on the use of North American repertoire on its TV shows that are distributed stateside. It’s a boon for British songwriters, who’ll get more attention than they did previously for sync opportunities in some of the U.K.’s most-watched TV programmes, but U.S. writers are likely to be left out in the cold.
