INFORMATION SHEET – D142 – JULY 2014 What is D142? IMRO makes four major distributions for domestic income each year; in April, July, October and December. D142 is the second major domestic distribution for 2014. As a result of IMRO’s increase in the frequency of royalty payments in a number of revenue streams, this distribution relates to the following royalties: . Domestic Radio and Television Broadcasts (January – March 2014) . Tours and Residencies (January – March 2014) . RTE Performing Groups (January – March 2014) . Digital Royalties (October - December 2013) . Live Music Survey (January – March 2014) . Background Music (October - December 2013) . Discos (October - December 2013) . Cinema (January – December 2013) . Heritage (January – December 2013) Basis of Payment Run Information regarding the basis of payment for the above distribution elements can be found in the IMRO Distribution Policies document which is available online at www.imro.ie. A brief synopsis is outlined below. Domestic Radio and Television (including advertising) All TV and Radio stations are paid out on a duration basis. 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 Unidentified Performance and Commercial Claim facilities, which are available by registering on the IMRO website at www.imro.ie . Please contact Aaron Casey 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. Tours and Residencies IMRO receives submissions from our members and affiliated societies informing us of gigs and residencies throughout the country. The Tours and Residencies payment relates to those submissions. As Tours and Residencies are distributed four times a year, we encourage you to regularly submit your live performance details and set lists online via the member’s area of www.imro.ie so that you do not miss the submission deadlines. In order for eligible performances to be included in the D143 (October 2014) payment, please submit your April to June 2014 performances online by Friday 15th August. RTE Performing Groups The RTÉ Performing Groups is comprised of the following: RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra, RTÉ Concert Orchestra, RTÉ Vanbrugh Quartet, RTÉ Philharmonic Choir, RTÉ Cór na nÓg. Live Music Survey The Live Music Survey is an extensive survey of live music in bars and hotels throughout the country. IMRO uses an independent agency to conduct visits to live music venues and to report back to IMRO the actual music being played. Recorded background music Recorded background music pools are distributed on the basis of analogies. Rather than distributing on the basis of actual surveys of recorded music use throughout the country, IMRO uses a selection of record sales charts and radio station logs that best reflects the music being used and the amount of usage. Discos Revenue collected from commercial discos is distributed on the basis of an analogy selected from charts (including popular and dance) and various radio station broadcasts. Hotel Dances Hotel Dances are distributed on the basis of an analogy selected from various radio station broadcasts. Online (Ringtones/ Downloads/Streaming) In this distribution, IMRO is distributing revenue received from the following online providers: . IMI Mobile (July - December 2013) . Trust 5 Ringtones (July - December 2013) . iTunes Movies (October - December 2013) Cinema/Heritage Mainstream cinema royalties are distributed on the basis of box office figures returned by Rentrak EDI. Arthouse cinema royalties are distributed on the basis of performance logs returned by the IFI. Cinema advertising royalties are distributed on the basis of advertising logs provided by Carlton Screen Advertising. This distribution also includes Heritage Centre payments for 2013.

    Terms & Definitions Used in the Reports

    Terms & Definitions Used In The Reports REACH (Average Weekday Yesterday Listenership) ° Reach is about PEOPLE. ° The size of audience “reached” by radio in general (Any Radio) or by a specific station. This question measures the number of people who have an “opportunity to hear” an ad on a radio station. ° Reach can also be described as = the number of people who listened/tuned into a station yesterday (average day). It doesn’t matter if they tuned in for 2 minutes or for 2 hours – everyone who listened is counted here. ° Remember: Yesterday = Average Day WEEKLY REACH ° Weekly reach is the sum of “yesterday listening” plus “past week listening”. (It is not based on the sum of 7 days listening as our methodology is not diary based). MARKET SHARE (Minutes Listened). ° Share is about MINUTES – it measures a station’s share of all minutes listened to Irish Commercial Radio. ° If, for example, a respondent listened to two ¼ hour periods, this is calculated as 30 minutes. Each respondent’s listening activity is calculated and added together in this manner, resulting in a TOTAL number of minutes listened per day. ° Station share is then calculated based on the number of minutes listened to Station A vs. Station B. The market share table therefore will always add up to 100%. ° The share analysis is broken out into 3 time periods – share of minutes listened 7am-7pm, 7pm-midnight, and 7am-midnight. ° Market share is a better measure of loyalty as it shows the depth of listening to a station.

    Research on Use of the Irish Language on Radio

    Research on use of the Irish language on radio January 2018 Dr John Walsh, National University of Ireland, Galway Dr Rosemary Day, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick 1. Introduction The Irish language has had a role in broadcasting since the establishment of Ireland’s first radio station 2RN in 1926. The founders of the state imagined that radio would play a key role in the development of Irish identity in nation-building (Watson, 2003; Pine, 2002; Day, 2012). Following the consolidation of the existing Dublin and Cork stations in 1933, a national audience could hear programmes in Irish for the first time, due to the introduction of a high-powered transmitter in Athlone. Although a separate service was promised for the Gaeltacht in 1926, a distinct station did not materialise until 1972, with the establishment of Raidió na Gaeltachta (Day, 2012). Some Irish is broadcast on RTÉ’s other radio stations but as a full-time national broadcaster, RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta provides the majority of Irish language radio broadcasts in the country. Following the introduction of the Radio and Television Act of 1988, the pirate stations that had proliferated during the 1970s and 1980s were put off the air and new commercial broadcasters were licensed. Irish was granted only limited recognition in the schedules of these stations that came on air from 1989 onwards. As a result of a campaign by language activists in Dublin, Raidió na Life was established in 1993 as a community of interest service to serve Irish speakers in the capital (Ó Drisceoil, 2007).
