Hi all,
I’m prob just late to the party but I realized this week that if you have a song/cue used in a tv promo, in a lot of cases you have to notify your publisher to make any $.
The publisher will have to file a manual claim. In my case my publisher contacted my sub publisher to get the claim started.
And as far as a song used in an ad/commercial one of my libraries has detection software that will determine the amount of plays on radio/internet.
Not sure if that’s the case with all ads but it doesn’t hurt to let your pub know about hits on Tunesat. Tunesat is what clued me in to the promo in Germany.
Again, might be late figuring this out but thought I’d pass it along.

Re: Promos, Ads and “Manual Claiming”
My understanding is PROs like ASCAP and BMI will not accept Tunesat detections as proof of usage. However, the detections may lead you other ways of proving use such as seeking out video, the libraries contacting the TV people, etc.
I've heard there are other services that better monitor ad usage. The names escape me now.

I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER!

Re: Promos, Ads and “Manual Claiming”
Yep I've heard that too re BMI and ASCAP. What I did was pass the Tunesat detections on to my libraries and they did the reach-out. They were happy to get the info since they get paid too. I also found the usage on youtube and forwarded that to my library. If it was just one short usage I wouldn't have bothered them, I'm sure those go undetected all the time... . It's not right but it happens.Casey H wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 3:11 pmMy understanding is PROs like ASCAP and BMI will not accept Tunesat detections as proof of usage.

But in this case the promo was at least 12 plays in a few days and they were all :23-"26 seconds in length.
