[Fmpro] College radio and cue sheets

[Kennard, Kerry A.]

Hi Mark,

Based on my knowledge from my Belmont Univ. days,
radio stations were to send/fax in their play list(s) to the PROs'
and an average of plays per day / per month was  to average the compensation
from other sources, i.e. TV, Radio, Internet, etc.
Granted, this knowledge is from 1991, so I bet the business has changed.

I worked for BMI for  three months and saw the actual boxes of play lists the employees had to
enter for T.V.  Go for these if you feel led - not only for the green stuff.



Thank you for your time,
Sincerely,



Mr. Kerry Kennard

Hi Mike-- I take your questions seriously, and I have a suggestion for you.
As your queries go directly to ASCAP policy and administration, why not ask
ASCAP directly? The Member Services number is 800-952-7227.

I'm not being flippant with you. ASCAP policy is dynamic-- what was factual
yesterday may or may not be factual today or tomorrow. When possible, get
current info from the horse's mouth. And please, report what you learn for
the benefit of others on this List.

ASCAP personnel are paid to provide you with pertinent information. FMPRO
List members are not. Where the List can really help you is the occasional
debunking of misleading or inaccurate info provided to you by ASCAP
personnel. Sometimes errors are just honest mistakes or omissions. In other
instances, we can debunk fraudulent propaganda, such as ASCAP's MediaGuide,
IMJV, the fraud of ASCAP cable and local-cable distributions, and so on.

But whenever possible, we should obtain information from the source.

BTW, cue sheets play no substantive role in ASCAP radio tracking and
distribution. Cue sheets apply to audiovisual works such as movies and
television programs. Radio tracking utilizes other documentation, including
samples, surveys, station playlists, audio air checks, and other means. You
may find that a radio station is asked to submit a playlist one day per
YEAR, if at all. But conditions may have improved in that regard.

Please ask ASCAP and let the ProList know what you learn. In that way,
you'll help educate yourself and other composers as well.

Thanks,

Mark Holden
