Minimum fees (by the week or by the day) for all these various categories of contribution entitle the BBC to transmit the resultant programme once on one of its channels, via all its transmission platforms (terrestrial, digital, cable), either simultaneously or at different times in different BBC regions. The agreement allows for transmission rights in one region only to be acquired for variety and speciality acts, though not for other categories of performance, for a reduced fee.

Payment of the minimum fees also gives the BBC the right, subject to a time limit of three years from the first transmission, to make up to two repeat transmissions, either on the same channel or on another. The exercise of this right by the BBC requires payment of further fees calculated as a percentage of the individual artist’s original fee to all categories of artist except supporting artists (crowd).

There are special provisions for repeat transmissions where:

• the artist’s contract guarantees a repeat transmission and the repeat fee is paid with the performance fee,
  
  
• the artist is engaged for education, schools or pre-school children’s programmes,
  
  
• the artist is engaged for a narrative serial repeated within a week of the episode’s first transmission,
  
  
• a variety or speciality act is engaged for a regional programme, and the repeat transmission is in that region only,
