Saban smartly held onto the music rights when he sold his company to Disney. Which meant Saban would be subject to royalties. Disney had every right to use MMPR music during OO. But they would have had to pay royalties to Saban to do it. I believe Saban got royalties for music in the reruns too. Which we're already off the air by that time. Plus using the music in a first run episode costs more. This problem doesn't exist now. Since Saban Brands now own Power Rangers. So the music rights are back with the main franchise.
