We allocate

When royalties collected for a given country and broadcasting year exceed the threshold of 500'000 Euro, they are allocated to broadcasts:

  • on a subset of TV channels (the subset has been chosen in order to reduce distribution costs, whilst being representative);
  • which belong to the AGICOA repertoire. As a general rule, AGICOA's repertoire covers all audiovisual works considered as being produced by an independent producer. Are usually excluded audiovisual works produced by the retransmitted broadcaster, news programs, live retransmission of sports and other events, infomercials and commercials;
  • with a duration of at least one minute.

Matching of broadcasts

Having allocated royalties to broadcasts on the basis of duration and audience, AGICOA then identifies the rightsholder(s) for each of those broadcasts, based on their declared rights on audiovisual work.

Remuneration

In a next step, rightsholders' royalties are paid out by country of distribution.

As yearly defined by AGICOA's Board of Directors, the AGICOA Group service fee of below 10% is deducted from the amount put into distribution.
