Each of the new online TV channels will create original programming, with the publisher providing all music for these productions.

The channels will be distributed widely across web, IPTV, mobile and tablet devices. Each brand channel features a variety of original programming, including shows on beauty, fashion, how to, fitness and more, inspired by the magazine on which it’s based. These newly created series can be seen on the brand’s official sites, YouTube and a host of syndication partners.

Matt Pincus, Songs founder and chief executive, said: ‘This deal is the first of an initiative here at Songs Music Publishing to create next level opportunities for our writers through partnerships with a select group of iconic premium content producers.

'We are incredibly honoured to be chosen by Condé Nast Entertainment to provide songs for their tremendous group of brands in a way that makes sense for their business.’

Songs has offices in the US and UK and is home to 350 songwriters including Jose Gonzalez, Bright Eyes, Diplo, Sleigh Bells, The Album Leaf, Adam Green and Binki Shapiro.
