Television series rates

[DK]

Does anyone have any links to current international Television broadcast rate sheets, (licensing rates per episode), for animated series? I had all this info at one stage but looks as if it's all been thrown out.

Cheers

You could look at BBC's website.

I remember they had a good rate sheet for animation.

Also, I remember seeing $50.00 per second is a GOOD studio's rate for animation. I think that's fluid animation.

I guess depending on the animation type, the rate will change.

Like, who's gonna wanna pay a lot for cut-out animation, when he could be getting awesome fluid animation for the same price?

Navigating BBC Commissioning is a nightmare but there is a wealth of information to be found, plus links to great support sites.

The money stuff for children's TV is here

For all programming, look here

Just remember, not all broadcasters are this generous!.

Wow. Thank you very much for these links. Why is it that BBC is so open and transparent about the money? Try and find information like that for a german TV station ...

Thanks Mikdog and Rhoel. Here's another question. If a broadcaster like BBC commisions you to do a series. Who owns the rights to distribution and licensing?

Why is it that BBC is so open and transparent about the money?

It's probably because the BBC is publically funded...

It's probably because the BBC is publically funded...

The german ARD was built after the BBC's prototype. Although it is publically funded, the internal financial information is handled as if being top secret. Parts of their financial deals are on European court right now.
