--- Quote ---Why not make a CD available (even if only retired cues; the main theme is available already) through per-inquiry on the show in the U.S. only and make some money?

Point being the theory is that there doesn't seem to be enough interest in background music. Some people who watch the show don't even know there is music.

I had suggested creating about a dozen of them as a test as sell them at the CBS store and see how they do. The overriding factor besides costs/interest seems to be Fremantle doesn't want clean copies of these cues going around, even if they can make money on it. I don't think they have made any money on the more common cues floating around. In fact, some question how they even got out in the first place. Makes me wonder if they care so much about piracy, why they don't go after everybody. They go after some, other's they won't.

Jimmy Owen:
You should tell your sources that those cues were released on a 33rpm record by Score Productions for in-house use back in the seventies when Paul Talbot was still running Fremantle and "The Galloping Gourmet" was their hottest U.S. property.

.

Family Feud's theme addition (Combs) had to do with timing of the Old Navy Family Fleece
commercials. When those spots ended, combined with the fact that Karn hated that theme,
caused the Louie Anderson theme to be brought back. [/quote]
Richard Karn actually had some say over which theme to use? Interesting, considering he joked on the first show they used the classic theme music that it was "his idea" [/quote]

1,000 CDs @ $20 each = $20,000 = hardly worth the bother for Fremantle, particularly if they don't want clean versions of those cues getting out.

 I assume that was Brian Karmizad's source for the 80's Supersite? (Which would also explain where the titles came from.)

Of course, 16Kbit Realaudio files are far too poor in quality to use on the air in any fashion. But I do understand their concerns about piracy if clean, CD-quality files were released. That doesn't make me want them any less, though. :/
