This is what I found on some recent statements:

ESPN2: About 5,00 USD for 30s
Golf Channel: About 2,00 USD for 1min
Fox Sports 1: About 2,00 USD for 50s
Fox Sports 2: About 4,00 USD for 40s
NBC Sports: About 1,50 USD for 1 min
Big Ten: About 0,50 USD for 1 min

This are averages… I had placements on CBS Sports, MLB and NHL too, but I either can’t find them on my statements because they have a weird acronym or they haven’t been paid yet.

It is exactly the same for me – thousands of detections in 2022 on Fox News, fox, fox business and fox sports but not a single cue sheet was filed. I reported to my PRO (Sesac) – let‘s see how it goes.

On a side note, they told me that promos and ads are not reported on cuesheets but via „logs“, which networks notoriously „forget“ to report. So tunesat/bmat data seems like the only way to chase them…

Fox network is unfortunately not the only network which don‘t report music usages to Pros, in fact about 95% of my music airing in the US (also on CBS, NBC and many cable networks) were never reported, while everywhere else in the world it seems to be quite accurate.

I wonder if they get any sort of „fine“ for not paying royalties, because if not I could totally understand this as a business strategy…

Hi,

Just to add to the list, Freeform (former ABC Family) does pay (average about 10-15$ per minute as far as I can tell from my statements…).

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Art!

How about Ads, are they usually paid out on time (on BMI this would mean payout in the 3rd quarter after they aired if I’m correct) or are there any further delays to be expected/common?

Also, what channels are considered to be “major Networks”? Fox News is part of the Fox Network, but are their sub channels (also CBS Sports etc.) considered major?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Does anybody know if promos/ads are usually processed later by US PROS than “cue sheet placements” due to the dependency on Numerator? I had a lot of promo airplay on CNN, Fox News & Fox Business in Q1 & Q2 2022 but no payout yet (I’m with SESAC).
