Which contribution notifications should be bundled?
production, please send us a notification as a bundle for each year, not for each individual episode. This concerns the sub-budgets individual television contributions, docusoaps and opening title and background music.
Examples:
- If you had several or regular appearances in a specific show (e.g. musical appearances or as a comedy act)
- If you made several or regular contributions to a docusoap
- If you recorded the title or background music of a particular magazine programme
- If you participated in the music of television documentaries that aired in multiple episodes with identical titles or subtitles.
Please do not report individual episodes in the case of such linked productions; instead, indicate the total number of transmissions within the relevant year under “frequency of transmissions”.
If you had worked on the fictional documentary format "Wild Animals", for example, you would have to summarize the following titles that were broadcast in one year:
Series "Cats of Prey," Episode 1: The Lion (1 hr.)
Series "Cats of Prey", Episode 2: The Tiger (1 hr.)
Series "Cats of Prey", Episode 3: The Panther (1 hr.)
Series "Cats of Prey", Episode 4: The Jaguar (1.hr.)
Series "Marine Animals", Episode 1: The Blue Whale (1 hr.)
Series "Marine Animals", Episode 2: The Great White Shark (1 hr.)
Series "Marine Animals", Episode 3: The Giant Octopus (1 hr.)
Please combine these productions as "Wild Animals (Cats of Prey/Marine Animals)" in one message and increase the corresponding number of airings. The production duration in this example would be 01:00:00.
In the case of several performances within a show, e.g. music performances, please submit them as a bundle as well. Just adapt the production duration in line with the total duration of your contributions.
For example, if you appear in an average of five 30-second musical interludes in a late night show with the show band, please report a single contribution with a production duration of 00:02:30. For the broadcast frequency, enter the total number of broadcasts in which you participated in the respective distribution year.
