WXmanTim 88 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Most likely no one but "tv nerds" watching would have caught the reference, but the first couple of minutes of tonight's episode dealt with Springfield realizing their "town anthem" was also sold to a dozen other cities.
Mrtraveler01 739 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 They do a great job at parodying local news. I was watching FXX today and one of the episodes had "Eye on Springfield" which was basically a parody of KABC's "Eye on LA". http://www.hulu.com/watch/28740

I only ask that in the past I heard that the commissioner ultimately owns the copyright for the work with the remaining belonging to the composer for personal use?
