When an agent reviews a cut that contains temp or source music, what should it flag for clearance, according to public broadcaster and licensing-body guidance?
The only dated public broadcaster text found that names temporary music is CBC's producer guide for one documentary series (v2, 2026-01-19): the producer must tell CBC whenever non-cleared temp music is in a cut delivered for review, and must secure sync and master rights for source music, covering in-context and out-of-context use, promos and multiple platforms. PRS and MCPS add: identify every owner and the exact recording, allow time, keep alternatives, and have the licence in place before exploitation. The list below is a flag checklist (synthesis), not legal advice and not a clearance conclusion.
