It sets out the basis on which musicians are paid for repeat transmissions, in peak time and off-peak, and in the same week as the first transmission. These repeat fees are expressed as percentages of the musician's original session fee. There are special provisions for the repeating of educational programmes and for compilation programmes.

The agreement sets out various levels of "combined use fee" which the producing ITV company must pay to the musician within specified times in order to acquire the right to sell the programme or programmes containing the musician's performance overseas.

It then provides for royalties (ie a percentage of the gross receipts from the sale to be shared out among the musicians whose work is included in the programme) payable on each overseas sale.

For live performances or "as live" recordings, the ITV-MU agreement allows for the engagement of musicians for four-out-of-five-hours sessions, and specifies minimum per-session fees. For pre-recording of music (in sound only or in sound and vision), it allows for three-hour sessions, and again specifies minimum fees. It includes defined limits on the amount of music that may be recorded in a session.
