Abstract: Let $ f$ be a newform of even weight $ k$, level $ M$ and character $ \psi$ and let $ g$ be a newform of even weight $ l$, level $ N$ and character $ \eta$. We give a generalization of a theorem of Elliott, regarding the average values of Dirichlet $ L$-functions, in the context of twisted modular $ L$-functions associated to $ f$ and $ g$. Using this result, we find a lower bound in terms of $ Q$ for the number of primitive Dirichlet characters modulo prime $ q\leq Q$ whose twisted product $ L$-functions $ L_{f,\chi}(s_0) L_{g,\chi}(s_0)$ are non-vanishing at a fixed point $ s_0=\sigma_0+it_0$ with $ \frac{1}{2}<\sigma_0\leq 1$.
