Information Sheet – 12P041 – April 2012 INFORMATION SHEET – 12P041 – APRIL 2012 What is Payment Run 12P041 IMRO makes four major distributions for domestic income each year, in April, July, October and December. 12P041 includes the first major domestic distribution for 2012. This payment run contains the distribution for broadcasting revenue from Irish Radio and TV stations for performances in the second half of 2011. 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. Previously RTÉ Radio 1, Lyric FM and Raidió Na Gaeltachta were distributed as a single pool. The same exception applied to television where RTÉ 1 and RTÉ 2 were also distributed as a single pool. Since October 2011, these stations are distributed as individual pools. 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.

  • A Public Service Broadcasting Fund for Independent Radio Stations a Scheme Proposed by the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (
    A Public Service Broadcasting Fund for Independent Radio Stations A Scheme Proposed by the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (IBI) January 2014 0 Summary: Over the past two years the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (IBI) has campaigned for a fair and equitable system of funding for public service broadcasting (PSB) in Ireland. Our members are the main source of local and national news, sport and current affairs on radio for 70% of the population and because of the structural changes in the advertising market that have impacted on the funding of independent radio, these services are under threat. The introduction of the new Public Service Broadcasting Charge will result in additional revenue being collected for the purpose of funding PSB. In this paper, we outline a new scheme that proposes to utilise approximately half of the additional revenue collected in a new fund to support PSB on Independent stations. We propose that state owned broadcasters including RTÉ would also receive an increase in funding via the expected uplift. The Government is currently preparing amending legislation to the 2009 Broadcasting Act to allow for the introduction of the new charge. This legislation should address the issue of allocation of the fund and provide for this new scheme proposed by IBI. Introduction to the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland The Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (IBI) represents the 2 national, 4 regional, 1 multi-city and 27 local commercial radio stations throughout Ireland. The mission of the IBI is to promote a strong and vibrant radio sector which reflects the preferences and needs of the listening public.

  • NYCI Opening Statement to Joint Oireachtas Committee
    Opening Statement to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage on the General Scheme of the Electoral Reform Bill, 2020 James Doorley, Deputy Director, NYCI, 8th June, 2021 Chairman, Deputies, Senators, on behalf of the National Youth Council of Ireland (*NYCI is the National Representative Body for 54 voluntary organisations, working with up to 340,000 young people-see list of members in appendix 1). I want to thank to committee for the invitation to speak to you today concerning the General Scheme of the Electoral Reform Bill 2020. NYCI has a long track record of promoting the active citizenship of young people and supporting their participation in our democracy. (See appendix 2 for details of our advocacy work in print/broadcast media in advance of General Election, 2020. We also ran online campaigns through Facebook, Instagram and Google ads.) As a result, we have organised campaigns to encourage and support young people to register to vote and to vote in all elections and referenda. We welcome the fact that there has been increased participation by young people in recent elections and referenda. The level of pre-election engagement, voter registration and participation in recent referenda and the 2020 General Election was unprecedented in our experience. As a result, we have a strong interest in this legislation. In the interests of brevity, I will focus on those areas of the draft legislation on which we have substantive comments and concerns. I do at the outset want to welcome the long-awaited establishment of the Electoral Commission, the introduction of a rolling electoral register, the move away from household to individual registration, the greater availability of online voter registration and the pre-registration of 16- and 17-year-olds.
