RE: BMI Radio – Short-Duration Detections

[Lelandbond]

Hi All,

Does anyone know a contact person at BMI that might be able to help me track down Short-Duration Radio Detections?
I have over 1200 plays of a promo on a large radio station that hasn’t paid royalties. I’ve followed up with Soundmouse to no avail and BMI is becoming the same.

Below is info about BMI’s Short-Duation Detections

Short-duration detections represent Radio performances of your songs that aired for 60 seconds or less.
Effective July 1st 2020, BMI makes royalty payments for short duration detections (SDD) using sound recording detections provided by its vendor, Soundmouse, in conjunction with BMI’s works database of registered compositions. Soundmouse provides information about the recordings used in short duration radio performances, and BMI’s identification process and works database determine the underlying compositions to be paid.

I would call the Nashville office. I have found they are very responsive, at least in the past.

Thank you. They are very helpful.
