Due to the transition to new core technical systems and the change to ICE as the new partner for licensing music in global music streaming services, TONO has had to postpone the March settlement for these services. The money will be paid out at the end of April.
/ 25/03/2026 / Willy MartinsenTONO has previously informed that we had to postpone payments in certain areas in the March settlement. This was done on February 20th in the newsletter to members and on tono.no, and then on March 20 in the settlement letter sent to members by email and on tono.no. Because this is important to many members, we want to provide even more information.
The postponement is due to the need to ensure the quality of the settlements when we are in the middle of a transition to new systems and at the same time have a new partner for licensing global music streaming services. There is a risk of errors in such a process, and therefore we have had to postpone payments in certain areas to be absolutely sure that everything is correct. Therefore, in the settlement on March 20, only money was paid out for TV, radio, cinema and international revenues.
We are now working hard to complete the settlement of global music streaming services as quickly as possible. Our goal and expectation is that we will be able to do this by the end of April.
The June payout will be the last from our former global music streaming services management partner, Network of Music Partners (NMP), and the first settlement from our new partner ICE. ICE only licenses the global music streaming services on behalf of TONO. TONO manages and settles all other areas itself.
Because music streaming billing will not be carried out in March, there will currently be no information about this on Mitt TONO. The figures will be available at the same time as billing at the end of April.
We understand that this is important to many. All income has been received and registered, and settlement will be carried out as soon as the new system makes it possible.
If you have any questions about your billing, please contact medlem@tono.noThere are nice people working there who would love to hear from you.
