A total of 13 national and four international distribution runs, GVL paid remuneration to more than 175,000 performers and producers last year. Despite another challenging year for the sector, an overall amount of EUR 240.9m were allocated. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, GVL has thus distributed approx. EUR 870m to its rights holders (2020: EUR 292m, 2021: EUR 337m).

More on the 2022 distribution year in our comprehensive press release here.

Radio/TV extra format were formerly know as "Open Budgets", e.g. commercials, jingles or documentary productions.

Performers can find the form via the menu item "Radio/TV extra formats" directly in my.gvl in the menu on the left. This form should be used exclusively for participation reports on productions from the "Radio/TV Extra Formats" category that were broadcast on radio or TV in 2019 but cannot be found in the conventional product search.

Reports for usages in 2019 can be submitted to 06/30/2023. Distribution is planned for the 2nd half of 2023. 

These days, collective rights management also means that huge data volumes must be processed.

“Musicians without borders” is a global network of creative music projects which intends to enable people to access music, in particular to learn how to play an instrument, irrespective of their backgrounds, and to thus use the power of music for social change.

The dates are continuously updated. We provide you with updates here on www.gvl.de and via our social media channels regarding all news about GVL payouts.

Very important! Some distributions have registration deadlines. Please check here about deadlines for performers  and on label.gvl about deadlines for producers.

The time for a double final distribution is over from 2023. Time to rejoice?

For GVL, the answer is a clear yes. After all, it means that we managed to finally dissolve the long backlog that we had for years when it comes to the final distributions. And for our rights holders, it means they get paid more quickly in the end.

We are pleased to announce that due to late registrations and additional conflict resolutions, we were able to increase the average allocation rate for 2019 to 96.6 percent with the final distribution.

We have made the corresponding payment notices available on the label.gvl producer portal. There you will also find further information on this distribution.
