Increased Royalty Rates – Eos’ royalty rates for BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Radio Wales and S4C are now the best available.
Eos is an agency run by, and for, its members, with experienced composers and publishers sitting on its board.
If you are a composer or publisher of music used by broadcasters in Wales, joining Eos would be very likely to offer you better royalties.

Each year broadcasters pay Eos a license fee for the right to broadcast its members’ works.

Once Eos has collected a license fee from a broadcaster, it then proceeds to split the fee between its members.

How much a member is paid depends on how much use has been made of their registered works.
