How much do network TV shows pay for music?

I am thinking about releasing some royalty free music similar to what FreshMusic.com does. I would sell perhaps 10 songs on CD for $50.00 (or something like that) for use in 1 production, provided that the music is not used for a show on MTV, Discovery Channel, History Channel, or other show that is not indie. But how much do these shows pay for music?

Music mixing for TV

Hi,
I need some advice on mixing music for TV - it's nothing fancy, just stereo with mono compatability. I'm wondering if I need to leave a 'hole' in the center of the mix for voice over to fit into; and just how far I can go to left and right with panning.

Any tips on EQ, balance issues or anything else would be much appreciated.
