SUMMARY ADVICE TO INDEPENDENT PRODUCERS FOR RIGHTS CLEARANCE AND ROYALTIES PAYABLE FOR SECONDARY USAGE OF DRAMATIC BROADCASTS

Set out within this document is a simple set of guidelines for Independent Radio Producers to advise them on  secondary exploitation of their drama programmes for downloads, podcasts and cds. These guidelines were created following the request by BBC Audiobooks that producers should endeavour to clear secondary rights when setting up the agreements with talent within their primary broadcast contracts so that secondary rights would automatically be available once the programme was broadcast and following the seven day period of “audio on demand” had elapsed.
