The current process means a flat ‘per minute’ rate is used to calculate the royalty for music licensed for both UK-wide and regional programming (e.g. National news is UK-wide, local news is specific to an individual region). The MCPS rightly point out that this method does not recognise regional differences in audience size or the amount of music that is used in each region. The collection society says that the update "will introduce a fairer way of distributing broadcast royalties. The amount [your] royalties will increase or decrease will depend on where your music is used. Based on our analysis, the difference will be less than £50 per year for approximately 83 percent of those who see a change."
The table below shows the current and estimated new ‘per minute’ rate paid if your musical work is used across the entire BBC or ITV network.
| Broadcaster | Current Peak rate(£/min) | Peak rate from October 2015 dist. (£/min)* |
| ITV1 Network | £5.30 | £28.10 |
| BBC1 Network | £45.27 | £58.23 |
| BBC2 Network | £10.73 | £12.69 |
