Hi everyone,
I need your help with something that some of you have probably already experienced, but since it’s my first time, I’d like to understand how to handle it.
I use a service you surely know, Tunesat, where I can see when my tracks are used on TV. Last year, a couple of tracks were used on a Belgian channel in May 2024 (VTM) and on an Italian one in September 2024 (Rai2).
After the royalty distribution from my PRO (SIAE), I checked, but there’s nothing reported for these two tracks as if they weren’t accounted for at all. I also checked the royalty payment schedule for foreign TV broadcasts through my PRO (there’s an internal guide that helps with this), and I should have already received the royalties, at least from the Belgian broadcaster.
My question is: what should I do now? Should I contact the broadcasters? What exactly should I ask them?
I’m sure both tracks were licensed not through this platform, but another one.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance!
