Ha, yes true, the credits would be longer than the actual show!

Thanks for the reply, very useful 🙂

[Rich]

Side issue but I also wondered whether they add you to the credits of the film?

[Rich]

Thanks for the replies,

I am based in the UK so hopefully the cinemas here may pay some royalties.

Paolo – yes I just had a quick look and the contract waives the right to any mechanical royalties, kind of what I expected.

Thanks for that Mark, much appreciated 🙂

I’m by no means an expert but my understanding is that often these tracks won’t show up on your PRS until they pay you for them.

I have stuff showing up on BMI and ASCAP but the registration hasn’t popped up in my PRS until the nearer the distribution, so I think they may register them at that point.

I wish as soon as they registered them they did show up the PRS though!

I did receive some royalties from the show that aired on the travel channel some months after I started this topic, I am in the UK.

I don’t quite get how that works though as PRS in the UK collects the royalties through US PRO’s don’t they? So I’m not sure why we would get royalties but US composers wouldn’t?

[Rich]

Thanks for this – all very helpful information and much appreciated 🙂

Are there any other networks, or a list of that have this same policy in regards to back end royalties?

[Rich]

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

So I’m guessing that would explain why they didn’t register the track with my PRO? They don’t know to because they know the network won’t pay back end royalties?

[Rich]

Wow really? So the publisher would get an upfront fee and I’d earn nothing at all as it’s backend only.

The weird thing is though they have paid me something it’s just not the track or duration I was expecting!

[Rich]

PS

Not sure if anyone would be able to get the que sheets for this show? I can’t see them here in the UK on PRS

Thanks again
