Most of the cues I get I never get to hear, but I just got to hear one of my songs play on Young and The Restless for over two minutes! It's pretty cool to hear your music on TV.

Thats a network cue for over two minutes. The pay on that should be pretty good. Right?

Congrats! It really never gets old hearing your music on TV, especially when its one of those times where you're just flipping through the channels and BAM! You hear one of your cues!

My guess on the pay, based on a two minute instrumental that I had on daytime network TV, would be between $500-$800. Maybe more, maybe less. But I think that that is a good ball park estimate. It depends on what channel its on, how many affiliates or whatever that the show is aired on, etc.

I was told it should be around $4000

Congratulations Dwayne.

4 grand seems a bit optimistic to me. Especially when a vocal song of that length (which pays substantially more than an instrumental) on prime time, network television (which pays more than network daytime television), pays around 2 grand. I had an instrumental placement of exactly 2 minutes on daytime network TV and it ended up being around $800. But you never know with royalties.

Ok. You're probably right.

Well, I hope I am wrong

Either way, it should be a nice chunk of change

Congrats Dwayne!!!

I've heard that daytime pays less than primetime, but a featured song for 2 minutes during the day will pay a lot more than 15 seconds of background music you can barely hear on O***h. Way to go!!!

THanks Mazz. I think was background music, but it played for a long time.

Congrats, Dwayne!
