The arrangement of sharps and flats at the beginning of a piece of music is called a key signature.

 VH-1 Behind the Music: Badfinger report by Dan Matovina
I had seen Behind The Music's first year of shows in 1997 and I knew the band's story was a natural for the format.
When VH-1 finally developed a schedule of Behind The Music shows for the fall season of 2000, they did put the Badfinger show on the schedule, even though it was still at some risk, because it wasn't fully cleared in every area at that time.
But the only major input I really had was a lot of the music they used, much because I knew the the songs and lyrics, and they didn't have time to research the music as much.
