PlayOn! Sports has licensed “Anthem” by The Agency for use in several of its high school sports programs.

"Expanding media outlets demand an ever increasing amount of content, and at PlayOn! Sports our hardware and software offerings provide the necessary technology and platform to enabling the viewing of sporting events whose smaller budgets and niche audiences would typically preclude their broadcast.

Unfortunately, licensing music can be an expensive and restrictive proposition.
