History
Music Reports was established to enable broadcasters seeking to reduce music licensing costs. Music Reports developed a per program license and administration service to collect and process television station schedules and revenues, and to automate report preparation and submission. Pursuant to the signing of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act in 1998, Music Reports initiated a program of copyright licensing for digital music services. In doing so, the company played a significant role in the development of digital media and content rights.

Music Reports has compiled and maintains SONGDEX, a proprietary database of over 12 million music copyrights. Music Reports currently serves as a per program license administrator for local television stations in the United States owned by ABC, CBS and NBC. The company undertakes music rights clearances, licensing and accounting for digital and background music services such as MySpace.
