Audio Network
United Kingdom

We offer a complete music solution, so I hope the following information will be useful.

“Audio Network” is the first company to have created a large scale, rights cleared music catalogue in the UK. Put simply, this means access to high quality music at a fraction of the cost.  We are passionate about music, quality and customer care.

Our innovative model is fast becoming the standard for the Television Industry and Producers who need music pre-cleared for international and multi-platform distribution.   This is because Audio Network cuts through the traditionally complex and costly processes of licensing music.  All high quality tracks in the catalogue are pre-cleared for multiple formats, for the world, forever and producers will never have to pay more than the annual license fee of Ј3000 for this service.

Formed in 2001, by Andrew Sunnucks and Robert Hurst- the company maintains world-class production standards by recording its music in the UK using British studios, performers, orchestras such as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.  Moreover, we are proud to list composers such as Dame Evelyn Glennie, Debbie Wiseman MBE, Nik Kershaw and Terry Devine King among our partners. The company supplies music to major international television clients including NBC Universal, MTV, SONY/AXN, BBC and Turner Broadcasting.

Audio Network currently has almost 30,000 tracks with a commitment to continually increase output.  This has led to our continued success in attracting leading talent; furthermore, global demand for our music has led Audio Network to expand internationally.   We have recently opened in New York, Sydney-Australia, Toronto-Canada, Poland and Holland.”
