"It is pretty funny. But not as funny as sitting with an ASCAP/BMI/SESAC rep and try to have them explain the formulas used in calculating this stuff"Ha, ha... I've been there Marc when a rep called me and explained for 15 minutes why I wasn't getting paid for 150 Telemundo News Shows. John  What was his explanation for that? Hey Sunset... The Telemundo Network is a smaller network. Not as much money there (I was told) – however, they’re owned by NBC Universal and service 100 countries and 35 languages. The explanation was that I didn’t show up on their survey mechanism. Their survey for Telemundo only scans 2-3 hours of air time in a quarterly period (major networks are surveyed 24-7). So, if my music doesn’t show up during 2-3 hours during a three-month period, I won’t be paid. Cue sheets have no weight using this formula. By using this formula, some composers will benefit, while most will get the shaft. I got the shaft - ha, ha. John
