The format captures title and background music for non-fictional TV and radio productions (e.g. entertainment shows and magazine broadcasts).

For example, you can report the title and closing credits music of programs such as news ("Tagesschau"), magazines broadcasts ("Aspekte", "Monitor") or entertainment shows ("Fernsehgarten", "Wetten, dass...?") as title music within the Radio/TV extra formats.

Title music must, in contrast to jingles, be a fixed part of the production.

You can report your participations in background music of magazine programs and entertainment shows, e.g. in film clips.

Please note: 

This does not include title and background music in fictional productions such as feature films and series. Please continue to report your corresponding contributions as usual via the artist portal, not via the form for Radio/TV-extra formats.

Clearly defined musical performances, such as the performance of a song, are not background music. Please report these in the format"individual television contributions".
