ABSTRACT
This includes audiovisual programming on television, film, commercials, infomercials, and any other audiovisual products that contain multiple musical works. Cue sheets contain information such as song duration, usage, and entitled parties (songwriters, publishers, etc.) that help in distributing royalties equitably among members. For television programs cue sheets are due three months after the original broadcast. Feature film cue sheets are filed before the first foreign theatrical performance. PROs’ will distribute funds in the quarter that the program was first broadcast. In most cases this is four to six months after the program was aired. ASCAP and BMI have developed RapidCue, an electronically submitted cue sheet used for the processing of television performances.
