PRS for Music and BMAT sign deal for Malta

PRS for Music has announced a deal with BMAT Music Innovation for music tracking services in Malta.

PRS for Music is the appointed collecting society in the country and has responsibility for the collection of music licences and payment of royalties to Maltese members of PRS for Music and the international community of authors' societies.

Starting 1 February, BMAT will supply technology that will track the 11 major radio and television stations in the country providing accurate logs of music usage, to support and supplement airplay logs that PRS for Music already collects.     

We are committed to continually improving the service to all of our members worldwide and I’m delighted we’re partnering with BMAT to bring this innovation to Malta first. The technology provided will ensure we have additional data to track and match the works of our members and those of sister societies, meaning more accurate distribution of royalties to all.

We monitor broadcast media in more than 50 countries worldwide with a multimillion music title reference. We are very proud to partner with PRS for Music, with whom we share a common vision for transparent and accurate artists’ royalty distribution.
