Founded in 1986, EMG handles the permission process for music clearances in motion pictures, television, home video and multimedia. We serve a diverse client roster, including Garth Brooks, film director Robert Altman, The Oscar and Emmy telecasts, HBO and the major broadcast networks, Coca-Cola and Boeing, to local advertising agencies and equity waiver theaters. EMG operates an extensive, proprietary database of song ownership and has tracked performance of copyright owners for over 12 years. We can provide our clients with accurate projections of music clearance costs and turnaround time prior to beginning work. Our staff of 7 clears approximately 5000 songs annually.
Charges vary based on the complexity and volume of music to be cleared.
