Several new agreements have been signed in recent months with major media companies and audiovisual platforms.
A new agreement with the TF1 group was announced last July. It took effect retroactively from January 1, 2021 for a period of five years and is part of a common desire to modernise the conditions under which the TF1 group uses the Sacem repertoire, in the interest of the thousands of creators it represents.
The agreement takes into account the new use cases and transformations in the advertising market: the growing role of digital, the challenges of technology and data, the arrival of new offerings like segmented television.
After thirty years of agreements with other authors' societies, this is the first contract that Sacem has signed alone with the entire TF1 group. Sacem has also signed an agreement with Salto, the streaming video-on-demand platform owned by France Télévisions, TF1 and M6.
The agreement will ensure that authors of music, sketches, dubbing and subtitling, as well as composers, authors-directors and publishers, receive royalties as remuneration for the broadcasting of their works on the platform. A contract has also been signed with Altice Studio, a thematic channel dedicated to movies and TV series, notably for its preview and replay services. The administration and management of the contract will be carried out by Sacem Luxembourg, as the channel's signal is broadcast from that country.
