Tunesat, a startup which tracks what music is being played on major TV stations in the U.S. and Europe on behalf of copyright holders, has raised $975,000 in a funding round, we have confirmed. An SEC filing lists NBC Sports digital media SVP Perkins Miller, Music Publishing Corp. of America CEO John Hecker and MPCA SVP Bruce Bunner, as directors. But in a short phone conversation, Tunesat CEO Scott Schreer said the company would not disclose who participated in the funding round (He did say that while NBC Sports was a past backer of the firm, it was not among the investors in this raise). Tunesat says it can detect “music underneath dialogue, sound effects or voiceovers in full duration even in the noisiest ‘dirty audio’ environments.” Customers buy subscriptions—and Tunesat notifies them about how their music is being used.
