HAppy New Year All,
My slowest quarter is almost always January. This year I am seriously considering the move to BMI from ASCAP. My payout today was approx. 80% less than my October payout. That’s right, 80% less. Thanks to Tunesat and my own TV watching, I know for a fact that ASCAP’s survey is to blame. Of course, I realize that this speaks to a larger problem with the survey system in general but, from what I have read, it sounds like folks are having better luck at BMI. It’s pretty infuriating…
I have seen the other threads on this subject and may have a couple of questions to those of you that have made the switch. Here’s to better future payouts!! – B
January is typically better for me than October. This January statement was 40% higher than October, I was surprised to see six placements on CBS’s The Young and the Restless!
Over the last 20 years I’ve seen no rhyme or reason to payouts from my PRO – BMI. Thank goodness they have been up a bit the last couple of quarters. Late last year and earlier this year were pretty bleak….

My ASCAP payment for January 2014 was almost double the amount for October 2013. I expected a huge drop. April’s payment could be 90% less than this one.
So I have no idea how these things work out. I am not worried about it enough to change PROs or anything. I am grateful for whatever royalties I get.
hi guys & girls,i’m fairly new to this,i registered with BMI last April.I had some placements (8 tracks) in America’s Next Top Model in August-September so,i’m expecting to see some cue-sheets from this show in my 1st BMI statement this month.Does anyone know what should i expect for use of 10-30 secs of BI use on this show?Had a lot of placements in Access Holywood too,i don’t have a clue what to expect from it,what’s your experience with these 2 shows (if any)?
