FROM BROADCAST TO PAYMENT

 

Old-fashioned alarm clock

Not every program that is broadcast receives royalties. When a program does earn royalties there is a delay before the royalties are available for distribution. This delay can be 6-18 months. During this time licence fees are paid, usage of programs is monitored, the information is collected, collated and audited, and finally the royalties are matched to registered programs.
