muscles like this! posted:TV was different because nobody really expected there to be a secondary market of home releases. Releasing a TV show on VHS was cumbersome since you couldn't fit very many episodes on each tape so it wasn't very common. So contracts pre DVD and streaming would just frequently not bother with securing music rights to a format that just wasn't relevant at the time. WKRP in Cincinnati is a good example of this. Since it took place in a rock radio station, music played a big part of the show. Because it was shot on videotape, the licensing was cheaper for some reason. When the show went into syndication, the rights to songs slowly began to expire. In some cases, they just flat out cut scenes with unlicensed songs, while in others they had to record sound-alikes AND had to redub the dialogue since the songs were usually playing in the background. The first attempt to release it on DVD was a disaster. Ultimately, SHOUT! Factory was able to secure about 85% of the original songs. You can find lists of what's till missing on some websites.
