"The hottest TV Show" Wants Your Music Video

Opportunity: http://www.musicxray.com/profiles/2597

"The Hottest TV Show" is on the lookout for new music videos from independent recording artists looking to promote their music video on television. The music genres "The Hottest TV Show" focuses on are Pop, r&b, and hip hop.

If you would like to submit your videos, here is our procedure:

You must have your video embedded in your music xray as a YouTube video. Will will review it by watching it as a normal submission.

If the video has no profanity, nudity, explicit sexual scenes, no guns and is of our broadcast quality standard, then we can approve the video for air. The video can be rejected for other reasons but these are the most frequent. We will advise on what changes need to be made.

Once the video is approved, we will contact you to ask for an airplay-quality version of the video. We accept the following formats for airplay: High resolution MPEG 2 or MOV files. Please make sure that the video DOES NOT have title information (Artist, Song, Director, ect) because we create our own clip title.

We are looking to take on new catalog clients in the month of November. Due to the large amount of work that we've been doing and the nature of recent projects, we are expanding our catalog to cover all genres and styles of music from any era -- beyond just the trends -- to fit specific uses.

We will be licensing 1-5 songs from each artist we select and those songs will be included in catalog pitches for licensing opportunities in film, television, commercial, web and gaming spots.

This will likely be an ongoing effort, but we would like to bring up to 20 artists on-board in the month of November alone.

We look forward to hearing your material, thanks for your time!
