How does upfront licensing work?

[daveydad]

So Netflix is a quarter behind?

[daveydad]

I made over $100 from Netflix this statement…. much better than Amazon VOD!

[daveydad]

I finally started getting backend from Netflix but wondered how many streams each show is getting. All my statement shows is a 1 under Count.

Hmm, I’ve been detected on HGTV a few times and don’t think I’ve seen any payments. I have gotten pretty good payments from Big Ten Network.

[daveydad]

That’s for sure. I seem to make the most from Bravo shows… they rerun over and over. VH1 pays pretty well, too.

[daveydad]

BMI doesn’t list the show… just the track title. Looks like $12 for about 12 uses.

[daveydad]

Yes, it’s been at least 5 years. I just started to see more international royalties in the last year or so.

BMI

[daveydad]

Mine was up too. Did better in 2019 than last year. Best payout was a few placements on CBS NFL Today.

[daveydad]

I’ve only been at this a few years and reality TV is definitely my bread and butter.

[daveydad]

All it shows is 1 next to each episode of the 7 shows… so I assume it only means 7 times. Which does seem odd for streaming. All my others showed thousands of streams. The shows were one Ink Master and the rest Save Our Shelter.

[daveydad]

That’s not bad!! I don’t do much sales anymore with RF libraries except Pond5. Not sure why….

[daveydad]

Most came from MIBE, a few from Back End Music.

[daveydad]

Interesting and kind of sad…

My highest streaming show on Hulu was 118,707 on a Cold Case Files episode paying $2.35. But that was also with a cue 2.35s long.

With Amazon it was an episode of MTV’s Real World with 16,893 streaming paying only $0.56. That cue was 37s.

My best payout this statement was from 41 episodes on Big Ten Network (sports): $123
