Music Licensing

In order to use licensed music within our productions royalties must be paid to the relevant owners, within our production we are using Frank Sinatra's 'Come Fly With Me' (1958).
 In order to use this music your must obtain an Independent Radio Production Company Licence from the PRS (Application can be obtained here: http://www.prsformusic.com/users/broadcastandonline/Radio/Documents/PRSforMusic_Independent%20Production%20Company%20Licence_Application%20Pack%202011.pdf)

The snapshot below taken from the PRS website (PRS for Music 2013) and gives detail of the licence, including fees required. Payment is calculated by dividing the amount of time the music is heard in the programme by the total length of the programme, this figure is then multiplied by 10% of the gross revenue of the production:

                         (Total duration of member music in programme X 10% of gross revenue).
                                         Total duration of programme
