Hi Catherine, I know that the team behind /programmes is trying to dig up as much information as they can to add to programme pages, and they have found some info around incidental music, I believe with the people who answer emails/phone calls from license payers. They are currently doing the usual thing of working through all the red tape, database inconsistencies, etc etc so hopefully the incidental music listings will make it onto /programmes and the programme catalogue eventually.
I know this doesn't help you in the short term, so it could be worth sending a question via this page [1]. It seems that they do answer some questions about incidental music, see [2]. Please don't abuse this service. As the "contact us" form says, we serve thousands of requests every day, and the more money we spend on answering questions, the less we can spend on doing cool things like releasing source code and building APIs for you. Good luck finding your tunes! Brendan.

Does the BBC or any broadcaster for that matter publish the music that is played during programs. There have been quite a few times when I have some music played and would love to be able to buy it. Its not too bad when its pop or rock because I can always google the Lyrics but when its a classical piece that can be a struggle. I would have thought that a record would have to be kept for royalty payments but is it published. If its not published is there any reaon why not surely it could be a money spinner for the record companies. Thanks Catherine Jones - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
