I recently started licensing music for media, so called "production music", formerly known as "library music" since it was distributed on thematic CD libraries. Today there are online forums run by specialized publishers that order music from composers and producers to offer media workers as a fast and convenient music solution. I researched the marked and found that the publisher best suited for me to work with actually was based in the city where I live, so I called them up and popped over for a meeting. I was amazed with the exactness in the business; there are specific templates for how you compose and mix recorded music to be suitable for commercial placement (dealing with length, cues and giving the end user good options to cut in your master and use parts of it to fit in with whatever media work they are finalizing). The requested format is the same as traditionally in film music; master files at 48 kHz and 24 bits. Deals may vary, but the contract I have with my publisher allows me to use one theme out of a delivered piece in some other work.
