All products and services provided by Muzak come with the guarantee of 100% licensed content. From in-store music programs to audio on the Web, our licensing staff uses the strength of our 70-plus years in the industry to successfully navigate the ever-changing waters of music licensing for our clients.
You can feel confident that with more than 3,500 record labels and 30,000 publishers currently licensed, a uniquely tailored audio identity solution is just around the corner.
Each of our delivery formats include proprietary technology that enhances the music experience for our clients while protecting the rights of the featured artists. Approximately 80% of Muzak's music programs are available via on-premise delivery. For these programs, our music licensing group seeks master-use and mechanical licensing. Muzak returns royalties to songwriters, publishers, artists, and record labels through agreements with the copyright controllers and performing rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC). This license grants access to the approximately $30 million in royalties paid annually by Muzak.
Specifically, Muzak requests a non-exclusive license to use music from copyright controllers in order to duplicate sound recordings and compositions for distribution of Muzak's on-premise subscription music service (not-for-sale to the public). These promotional music programs are provided in secure, proprietary, non-interactive, non-consumer disc-based formats. Muzak provides this subscription music service to numerous types of businesses including specialty retailers, restaurants, department stores, supermarkets, drug stores, financial institutions, hotels, health and fitness centers, business offices, manufacturing facilities and medical centers, among others.
