Carpenter Fellows Begin Work With Mike Post

Winners of the 2004 Pete Carpenter Fellowship arrived at the Los Angeles studio of BMI TV composer Mike Post, ready to start their internship. The Fellowship was established by the BMI Foundation and Pete Carpenter's family, colleagues, and friends to honor the late composer who was also Post's longtime writing partner.

Shown at Post's studio are Pete Carpenter Fellow Mark Petrie, BMI composer Mike Post, BMI's Linda Livingston and Pete Carpenter Fellow Jon Ophoff.

This year's winners are Mark Petrie and Jon Ophoff who will both intern with the Grammy Award-winning composer of some of the most memorable theme songs in television history, including Hill Street Blues, Magnum P.I., The Rockford Files, NYPD Blue, The A-Team, Law and Order, L.A. Law, Quantum Leap and City of Angels. A stipend for travel and living expenses are also part of the award.

BMI represents more than 500,000 songwriters, composers, and publishers with more than 7.5 million works.
