[Fmpro] I want my blankie!

[Merritt Music Productions]

Let me clarify - 

>From BMI's website - 

"BMI pays for music used in promotional announcements aired on the ABC, CBS,
Fox and NBC television networks. Payments are calculated based upon the time
of day of the performance, and the rate of payment varies from quarter to
quarter depending upon the number of promotional announcements aired in a
given quarter. At this time, no payment is made for promotional
announcements on any other medium."

So, to correct my statement.  BMI, my PRO, does not pay for promo
performances on Scripps Networks.

Hi Chris -- please be mindful of using blanket statements that are simply
not 
true in most contexts.

Promos generate considerable performance royalties at ASCAP. In a more 
limited context, certain promotional music earns royalties at BMI as well,
such as 
company logos.

Further, promos of one definition or another generate performance income in 
most foreign territories -- and a multi-national campaign or logo is hardly 
unique in the world.

Best,

Mark Holden
