INFORMATION SHEET – D131 – APRIL 2013

What is D131?

IMRO makes four major distributions for domestic income each year; in April, July, October and December. D131 is the first major domestic distribution for 2013.

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 (July – December 2012) . Tours and Residencies (July – December 2012) . RTE Performing Groups (July – December 2012) . Digital Royalties (July to September 2012) . Live Music Survey (up to December 2012)

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 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.

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.

IMRO now distributes royalties for Tours & Residencies four times a year - in April, July, October and December. Distribution D131 contains royalties for Tours & Residencies taking place between July and December 2012.

We encourage you to regularly submit your live performance details and set lists online via the member’s area of www.imro.ie.

Royalties for Tours & Residencies taking place between January and March 2013 will be paid in our D132 July distribution.

In order for eligible performances to be included in the D132 payment, please submit your January to March 2013 performances online by Friday 17th May.

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. This distribution includes RTE Performing Groups performances from July to December 2012.
