CUE SHEET INFORMATION AND DOWNLOAD

If you are producing a show for TV or radio which will be aired on broadcast, satellite or cable network and/or in a movie theatre a cue sheet must be completed and filed in compliance with the royalty free music license agreement.

A cue sheet is a document detailing the use of music used in films, TV and radio programs. Every producer of a broadcast show is required to complete one and submit it to their country’s performance rights society. The performance rights societies, in turn, pay any royalties due to the composer and their publisher. Broadcast companies pay an annual license to performance rights associations and it is from these fees that stock music companies can collect their royalties. Royalties are collected on works performed, both domestically and internationally, in broadcast/satellite/cable radio, TV and movie theatres.
