- TONO grants permission for public performance of music for a fee. The money we collect is paid out to rights holders based on documented music usage in the form of reports that we receive through our reporting collaboration with broadcasters, streaming services and so on. It is a big settlement this time, and we are happy about that in these difficult times for many of our members, says Communications Manager Willy Martinsen.
The first TONO settlement of the year consists of money from a number of different areas. The 118,1 million is compensation for music played on TV, radio and in music and video streaming services.
In the radio area, NRK, Bauer Media, the P4 group and local radio channels are settled. NRK, TV2 and TV Norge's TV channels are also settled. The same applies to TV distribution from Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, Discovery Science, Discovery World, Investigation Discovery, FEM, MAX, TLC and VOX.
