Do you really know when your TV licences expire?

You'll know from experience how difficult it is to track your TV sales licences accurately. This is made even trickier as often content is sold to broadcasters for a number of years, restricted only by the number of runs. Additionally, the absence of any international reporting standards and local title changes, make getting precise information on the number of runs from third party licensees practically impossible.Based on this knowledge, content owners assume that the reversion will take place at the end of the term, even though broadcasters generally do not schedule final runs on the last day of the term. Therefore, the vast majority would revert well before the stipulated expiry date. Compact Collections has developed a solution to keeping up to date with your licences and, more importantly, allowing you to capitalise on the potentially huge revenue available from early re-licensing. This is Compact Tracking, a unique answer to policing foreign sales and collating meaningful broadcast data, including the all important first and final run dates. Compact Tracking also has the ability to:

• Track local language versions and match them to your original title.
• Access over 250 channels worldwide.
• Retrieve historic data from 1995 to the present day.
• Having identified a programme, it reports the actual number of broadcasts against total runs licensed. Reports can be tailored to match your requirements, including information such as:
  
  • Channel
  • Territory
  • Number of broadcasts to date
  • Time and date of broadcast
  • Duration of broadcast
  • Local language title
  • Actors, directors and other interested parties

Other broadcast companies can provide data services to the TV and film industries but remain prohibitively expensive and are unable to identify accumulative run status reporting on broadcaster exploitation.
Compact Tracking has made the identification of early licence expiry possible for the first time, allowing you to re-license at the earliest opportunity; unlocking the vast sums available through early re-licensing.For further information please contact us by e-mail:
