[Fmpro] blacklisted because of PRO affiliation?

[LesHurdle]

Hi Chris,

Not to make an issue out of it..... the part I copied had nothing to  
do with cue sheets, BUT, as I asked you a long time ago., when  
SCRIPPS shows are broadcast overseas........ who gets the writers share?

In the spirit of the thread one could say SCRIPPS did not allow  
composers to be ASCAP et al members since they did not acknowledge  
any PRO.
