Radio and TV
On 1 July 2024, GEMA will distribute €236m to its members and sister organisations in TV and radio categories.
This means that the total distributable amount in the broadcasting sector has risen considerably in comparison to the previous year. A main reason is the reduction of broadcaster’s revenue due to the significant decline in advertising income in the linear sector. Only in radio can this be offset by an increased influx from the revenues for mechanical reproductions.
For further information, please see our information sheets for categories FS, FS VR; T FS, T FS VR and categories R, R VR.
To learn more about our distribution categories, please visit Radio and TV.
Cinema and Sound-Film Direct Distribution
In line with the market trend, the distribution amount in this sector has risen in comparison to the previous year. Whereas the pay outs sum in the area of sound-film direct distribution (including online advertising) is declining.
For further information, please see our information sheets for categories T, TD, TD VR.
