INFORMATION SHEET – D123 – OCTOBER 2012

What is D123?

IMRO makes four major distributions for domestic income each year; in April, July, October and December. D123 is the third major domestic distribution for 2012.

D123 covers broadcasting revenue from Irish Radio and TV stations for performances in the first half of 2012. In addition, many of our customers use radios and TVs as a source of background music. Revenue for this background music is distributed along with the revenue from the broadcasters themselves.

Basis of Payment Run

Each station’s revenue is distributed as a separate pool on the basis of logs submitted by the broadcasters.

General Music

All TV and Radio stations are paid out on a duration basis.

Advertising Music

All advertising is paid out based on duration.

The broadcasting revenue is shared amongst all performances logged and matched (i.e. linked to a work on our repertoire database).

Submissions of music logs received too late for inclusion in the distribution are added to the next available broadcast distribution.

Unidentified performances may be claimed by members by visiting our Online UP File and UC File facilities, which are available by registering on the IMRO website at www.imro.ie . Please contact Claire Egan or David Wilkinson at [email protected] for assistance with registering on the IMRO website.

Sample Rates

Stations are categorised either as full census, sampled or mixed.

Where a station is sampled, the value paid for each play is correspondingly higher than it would be if the station were subject to a full census.

If a station is on a mixed rate this means that they are delivering full census reports for all automated programming (i.e. where music is played out using an automated/play-out system) and are on a sample rate for all programming not delivered via an automated system (i.e. incorporating specialist programming).

As it would not be economically viable to collect and process logs from Community radio stations, the small amount of revenue received from these stations is distributed as part of the RTÉ Radio 1 and 2FM pools.
