Dear GVL members,

We would like to kindly ask you to check whether you have submitted your contribution registrations comprehensively and completely with regards to us-age year 2014. 

In order to ensure that your notifications are taken into account for the final distribution 2014, we need your respective registrations by 30/06/2019. So-called “open sub-budgets” which are still being developed and whose distribution has not been launched yet continue to be excluded from this registration deadline.

Dear GVL members,

We are pleased to be able to inform you that you can now find nearly all feature films and series which were broadcast in 2016 and 2017 on the TV channels that we analyse for the first time on www.meine.gvl.de.

An exception are broadcasts on the channels Disney Channel, Sat.1 Gold, ZDFinfo and - for 2017 - RTLplus. These are yet to be made available to you with the pending transmissions from broadcast year 2018 and inform you about them separately.

With kind regards

Your GVL

Florian Richter has left the Associates’ and Delegates’ Assembly as a delegate, as well as the Distribution Committee with effect from 21 November 2018. We would like to thank Florian Richter for his support at this point .
Richter’s successor for the music directors’ and artistic producers sector is, with immediate effect, Angelo D’Angelico. He had been elected at the last Rights’ Holders’ Assembly as a stand-in delegate. Moreover, D’Angelico will be a member of the Distribution Committee in future.

This means: Only such contribution registrations will be paid for which GVL already holds verified contribution registrations. These are mainly such registrations which have been used throughout 2010 to 2016. Registrations for used, new repertoire from 2017 are already possible for the sound recordings category. For any additional categories such as TV productions (AV) or radio productions, registrations can unfortunately only be submitted at a later stage. We are going to inform you accordingly at the appropriate time.
