Tonight sees the summer finale of USA Network's Burn Notice on USA at 9/8C. The action-packed espionage series debuted on the channel (a division of NBC Universal) in 2007.

We write about a lot of actors, directors and even producers on CinemaSpy, but it takes many more talents to make a successful (or unsuccessful, for that matter) film and television show. It is with pleasure, then, that we present a news story about a member of the filmmaking profession with a specialism that rarely makes the headlines: composing. Congratulations to composer John Dickson! For the second successive year he has received the Ascap award for Top Television series for his work on one of our favourite shows, the USA Network hit Burn Notice.

The Top Television Series Award is presented to an Ascap composer who has written themes and underscores for a high rated TV series in the previous year. John Dickson is no stranger to the award,...
