SPORTS & MEDIA RIGHTS INTERNATIONAL SERVICES

With over 25 years of experience in Music and Sports rights SMRI are best placed to provide clear advice to our customers with regard to music and sports rights charges  which can be an area that creates confusion in the hospitality industry

IS YOUR HOTEL  OR PUBLIC HOUSE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR SKY AND MUSIC RIGHTS

​

Most hospitality premises  in Ireland will receive IMRO credit notes  and invoicing as premises start to reopen. Sky may have also started invoicing some premises that are now open.

As a result of the various opening and closing of hospitality due to the pandemic, it can be confusing to establish if the appropriate credits and refunds have been applied to your account.

We provide the following services to ensure all the appropriate credits, refunds, etc are applied to your IMRO and Sky accounts:

IMRO & PPI

• IMRO will be issuing Invoices and credit notes to many premsies as we start to reopen. We will check these invoices and credit notes to ensure all appropriate IMRO and PPI credits / refunds are applied to your account due to the various Covid-19 Closures and reduced music use. We will also ensure that the charges going forward are appropriate to your music use.

• If your premises stayed open for Outdoor dining ,Healthcare Workers or people self-isolating etc, we can ensure only the appropriate charges are applied to your account as some of IMRO’s charging parameters will have been affected by social distancing etc.

Sky Sports

• Review all Sky Sports credits and refunds during the various closure periods. We have dealt with many hotels and have found in some cases that the appropriate credits and refunds were not applied. We can also identify if a change in contract can result in further savings.

• Some  Sky Charges are based on the  bars excise duty on their license  which is related to turnover( Sky pubs & Clubs license). As a further pandemic support revenue will again this year not charge excise duty on a publicans license.  Sky have now confirmed that they will be charging premises based on their 2019 publicans license excise duty cost meaning the significant reduction in turnover will not be reflected in the Sky charges. That is why it is more important then ever to review your Sky charges to see what can be done.

Our charge for these services is 50% of any annual credits /savings we achieve so there is no charge if we do not secure further savings for you.

Please feel free to contact us for a free consultation to discuss our services in more detail.

COVID 19

As a result of the various opening and closures that have taken place in the hospitality industry it is more important now then ever for  charges to IMRO ,PPI, Sky,  MPLC etc.  to be reviewed.

​

In most cases premises will be due significant credits and we can ensure that only the appropriate charges apply.

​

We can also provide music solutions that can result in savings of 60% on your background music charges. 

​

Our Charge will be based on what services your require however we will spread payments over a 12 month period and not  expect any  payments unless your premises is open for business. 

​

We will review all charges, credits, refunds due   etc and ensure that you are only charged appropriately so none of your time is taken up with such matters and you can concentrate  on when your business  reopens.
