Numbers shifted in the first quarter 2015 distribution. That’s when we started to see the effects of BMI including broadcast ratings into their formula.
Oh boy, anyone get this!
Dear Songwriter, Composer and Publisher,
We are writing to alert you about an isolated processing error we identified that has affected your March 2016 royalty statement. Specifically, incorrect durations of your cues and/or songs impacted the calculation of your royalty payment for performances on local television stations, PBS, and superstations.
The issue in some cases resulted in an overpayment, and in other cases an underpayment. You may have also noticed that the incorrect durations were reflected on your statement. While the error has since been corrected, we want to outline how BMI is addressing this situation.
You will be receiving a detailed supplemental royalty statement before the next quarterly distribution, reflecting the corrected cue durations. When appropriate, a direct deposit will be made, or check issued, to account for the difference in the original payment and the actual payment due. Any overpayment made to you in error will be deducted by BMI from your future royalty earnings.
Yes, I got it also. I checked my statement and sure enough, many of the times for blanket and superstation are way off, all too short.
@composer. Your right I just checked ours and for us it was mostly the Steve Harvey show with times of 1 sec. Who knows, maybe we’ll get another $2.00! 🙂
Got the same email. Very odd, because I know that my music isn’t in any of the same shows as writers who go through libraries. Must be a glitch in their system.
It was emailed yesterday. It also now appears as a note when I log in to my BMI account, so you could try that.
Got the same email yesterday.
I just checked and had 4 placements of 1 sec for superstation.No note or email here either.
