Programme sales blanket licence

You pay a percentage of the gross sales price of the productions that you sell. This percentage is calculated by comparing the actual amount of music in a programme relative to the duration of the programme. We then apply this percentage to a royalty of 8.5% for any sales outside of North America or 17% of sales to North America.

Example:

Duration of our members' music x 100 x 8.5% = PRS for Music % Claim
Total duration of programme

 

How do you apply?


To apply for a Programme Sales and Music Programme Licence please contact tvprogrammes@mcps.co.uk or call the IPC team on 0207 306 4101.
