Are the Scripps channels now paying royalties?
Scripps Networks was purchased by Discovery and the deal was closed in March 2018.
Discovery channels pay back end royalties (let us hope this is not changing), while Scripps channels did not (!!!)
Scripps channels include: HGTV, Food Network, DIY Network, Cooking Channel (formerly known as Fine Living), Travel Channel and Great American Country
This has been asked before, I thought someone might have an answer by now
Art MunsonKeymasterAre the Scripps channels now paying royalties?
Only time will tell. I do get paid on a Cooking Channel show but still not on the other channels.
gdomeierParticipantIt’s a mixed bag. I had one scrips show send cue sheets to my pro and I get paid on them. When I contacted the pro about missing sheets for the same show, they say they don’t pay out on scripps shows :/
Michael NickolasParticipantI posted previously (lost when Art changed the look here) my last domestic statement had 35 TLC placements on it. I’m also getting paid for an infomercial being broadcast on HGTV, DIY, FOOD, Travel, GAC. All the Scripps channels I guess.
Art MunsonKeymasterWe are all hoping that the actual Scripps shows will start paying for performances now that the merger is complete.
BTW TLC is a Discovery show not Scripps. They have always paid.
jdstamperParticipantHey Michael, also congrats on all the placements! Jim
AfilionParticipantAny updates on this guys? Anyone receiving any backend now?
AfilionParticipantBump…
I found Discovery’s own music library..might that be a reason that people are getting less placements on Discovery shows?paulGuestHello there
anyone can tell me how looks the situation with HGTV (US) royalties at the moment after the whole action with Discovery who owns hgtv now ?
thx!White_StripesParticipanthas anyone received any royalties from the above mentioned channels in the meantime?
Art MunsonKeymasterhas anyone received any royalties from the above mentioned channels in the meantime?
Yes
AfilionParticipantHas anyone ever received royalties for Beat Bobby Flay or BBQ Brawl on Food Network? I can see some other Food Network shows like Chopped, filling cue sheets but not the production company behind all the Bobby Flay shows.
