Talpa Network, one of the largest media companies in the Netherlands, extends partnership with Epidemic Sound to leverage the platform’s bulletproof audio licensing, AI-powered soundtracking tools, and world-class music across TV productions, online, and social content.
Stockholm, Sweden, March 25, 2026 – Epidemic Sound, the world's leading soundtracking platform powering over 3 billion video views daily across TikTok and YouTube, and Talpa Network, one of the largest media companies in the Netherlands, today announced an extended partnership to soundtrack TV productions, online, and social content.
The extension follows a successful six-year partnership, in which Talpa Network has used Epidemic Sound’s music and sound effects to soundtrack a wide variety of content, including successful Dutch TV-formats Lang Leve De Liefde, Mr. Frank Visser doet Uitspraak en Chateau Meiland.
Michael La Grouw, Manager Music & Rights at Talpa Network, commented:
“Epidemic Sound has been a great soundtracking partner for us. We’ve been able to elevate production quality through their wide range of music and sound, while getting licensing peace of mind and great flexibility to save us hours of admin in the production process. Epidemic Sound’s platform has developed a lot in recent years, adding AI-powered soundtracking tools and more and more music from their roster of artists. We’re happy to extend our partnership further.”
The extended partnership enables Talpa Network to continue safely soundtracking content across a variety of contexts: from leading linear TV channels like SBS6, NET5, and Veronica, to YouTube, social channels, and the media company’s own video-on-demand platform KIJK.nl.
Oscar Wall, SVP Enterprise at Epidemic Sound, added:
“The partnership between Epidemic Sound and Talpa Network is built on a shared value of quality. Talpa’s commitment to creating and distributing quality programming, content, and entertainment is truly impressive. We’re thrilled to extend our partnership to continue contributing to that journey through sound.”
