What’s Next - The Future of Music Supervision

Thursday, August 14, 2025, 3:15 PM - 4:15 PM

Music supervision has always involved a delicate balance between the practical and creative sides of TV - from navigating licensing and budgets, to collaborating with showrunners, directors, and editors, to creating truly memorable moments for viewers that linger long after the credits roll. As the business of making TV has evolved with new models, platforms, and the rise of streaming - so has the role of music supervisor.

Acclaimed music supervisors Maggie Phillips (The Handmaid’s Tale), Thomas Golubić (Breaking Bad), and Janet Lopez (The Gilded Age), and moderator Tracy McKnight (VP, Creative, Film, TV & Visual Media at Broadcast Music, Inc) will take us inside the current moment in entertainment to discuss how their role and relationships to both the TV and music industries has evolved; the challenges and opportunities presented by ongoing changes in TV production and post-production; and the future of music supervision as they see it.
