For independent artists and songwriters in the past few years, television has become "the new radio": an environment rich with opportunities to expose the world to your music. As part of the free monthly series at The Songwriting School of Los Angeles called The Forum, Lone Wolf Music Supervision head Lindsay Wolfington fields questions about placing your songs in shows like ones she supervises: One Tree Hill and (the erstwhile) Ghost Whisperer.

To attend this month's Forum event -- for FREE -- please call 818-848-7664 / 818-848-SONG.
