Petition covers
Distribution phase
Statement of significant interest
Petitioner produces live sporting events, owns the copyright in that programming, and has submitted claims for statutory royalties from the 2021 satellite royalty funds. Petitioner is a Distribution Phase claimant for satellite royalties within the Joint Sports Claimants category for 2021. Petitioner understands that there are other claimants seeking a share of the Joint Sports Claimant category allocations, but it has not reached settlement with any other potential Distribution Phase Joint Sports Claimants. Based on discussions to date, while Petitioner remains optimistic that it will reach a Distribution Phase settlement with the other Distribution Phase parties, it is probable that a Distribution Phase proceeding will be necessary to resolve these disputes. Therefore, Petitioner has a significant interest in the subject matter of the Distribution Phase proceeding.
