Jon Burlingame editor Nearly half of all the music played on American broadcast and cable TV is production music, according to a new study by music data company BMAT. The survey, commissioned by the Production Music Association, looked at 47 high-rated channels including broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and the CW; and cable channels including A&E, CNN, Discovery, Disney, ESPN, Food Network, Fox News, HGTV, Lifetime, MTV, National Geographic, Nickelodeon, TBS, Telemundo, Univision and USA. Non-advertiser-supported pay cable and streaming services were not included. The survey, done in February and March of this year, indicated that music was used in 39% of the total airtime, and that 46% of that music originated in production music companies or music libraries.
Production music, formerly known as “stock music,” is specifically composed for use in media productions, typically as part of a catalog of music made available for immediate licensing, and where the publisher and recording owner are the same. It can be written specifically for a series but unlike conventional scoring, is generally not tailored to specific scenes. Other findings included: music used in ads, promos and trailers made up 20% of the total when music was present; production music is used 6.5 times more than commercial music on broadcast and cable; and that commercial music accounts for only 7% of total usage. Interestingly, the highest numbers of music usage were in lifestyle, documentary and reality channels like Investigation Discovery (present in 67% of all airtime), Oxygen True Crime (61%), Food Network (60%), Outdoor Channel (58%) and TruTV (55%). The trend was reversed for channels telecasting mostly news and talk shows. Among channels

If you're anything like us then you spend a good proportion of your daydreams thinking about former X Factor contestants – like Chico, Same Difference, Wagner and Cher Lloyd – and what they're up to now.And for that matter, where the heck is Cheryl these days?During one of these momentary nostalgic daydreams at the gym (really, really light cardio - like walking to the gym and back), Swagger Jagger comes on shuffle and we are floored with memories and suddenly have so many questions.For those who were living under a rock in 2011, Swagger Jagger was the debut single of Cheryl's X Factor prodigy, Cher Lloyd from Worcestershire and over a decade later, we just don't have the words to describe this song. So bad it's good, maybe? Timeless and iconic? It's the kind of song you can imagine the Drag Race UK finalists releasing as an ear worm of a single midway through the series, so yeah, in 2022, let's go with timeless and iconic.But this isn't about Swagger Jagger, this is about now 29-year-old Cher Lloyd (we know), the British diva who gifted us with hits like Swagger Jagger (so good it's worth mentioning twice), None Of My Business and Want U Back after finding fame on The X Factor in 2010.To put that into perspective and to make everyone else feel old, too, that was the year Apple released the first iPad, everyone learned who Jennifer Lawrence was and Meghan Markle appeared on CSI: Miami for about three seconds.Cher might've come in fourth place on the seventh series of The X Factor, but she went on to become one of the show's major success stories (not quite One Direction or Leona Lewis big, but still), storming the UK and US charts and collaborating with the likes of Demi Lovato, Becky G, T.I.
th century.Author and New Orleans native Fatima Shaik is the granddaughter of an immigrant Bengali merchant named Shaik Mohamed Musa who, as was not uncommon when Indian men uprooted to segregated America, married a local African-American woman and blended into a welcoming Black community. Fatima never knew her grandfather — he died in 1919 before he could see his three children grow up — but she also grew up with little sense of her Indian heritage outside a treasured hookah of his that was lost in the Katrina flooding.Katrina’s devastation, which took loved ones of Fatima’s, spurred her to better understand a piece of her family tree that felt like an unfilled space, and in the documentary “The Bengali,” from Kolkata-born filmmaker Kavery Kaul, we’re with Fatima as she travels for the very first time to India to trace her grandfather’s existence, and hopefully to meet new relatives.
