Do TV shows and movies lose rights to songs like video games do?
Briefly

"For example, I know Bosom Buddies (the old Tom Hanks show) originally had a song by Billy Joel as the theme, but on DVD and now in syndication, they had to replace the music because of licensing issues that weren't considered back then. Today, older shows that relied on popular music face similar problems when they try to find new distribution methods, especially to streaming services."
"It's a bit surprising that while video games frequently face music licensing issues leading to them being pulled from sale, media like movies and TV shows don’t seem to experience the same level of disruption. However, it's important to remember that older media might not have built-in safeguards for modern distribution needs, especially with how rapidly streaming has changed the landscape."
