Phil Robinson Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I've had a few TV sales in the past - mostly in Japan - but never to the BBC. Yesterday three popped up, same license details but apparently unconnected subject matter. Has anyone else had a similar pleasant surprise this week? Or have people had sales in the past and I've just been unlucky until now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Phil, I had a TV sale to Germany recently, and this one. Your post made me check the usage details. I assumed it was a BBC sale as the image was of an actor on the set of a BBC sitcom: usage says Channel 4. Strange. Usage: EditorialMedia: Television (editorial)Print run: Unlimited transmissionsPlacement: Use within body of showStart: 05 April 2015End: 05 April 2018UK and Eire, unlimited TX over 3 years, including streaming within context of original programme across any Channel 4 branded or affiliated platform, 6 months catch-up on any Channel 4 branded VOD service and commercial VOD rights.

Kathy deWitt Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I had one on the 18th August to the BBC, not of a flower though - a politician. I've had TV sales before but for ITV. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 If you look through the images found threads, you'll find some more. Personally I spotted some on University Challenge. When I see Alamy in the captions it's too late, because we cannot easily view a BBC program after it's been aired. Some of the BBC magazines use Alamy as well. For me no BBC, but quite a few Japanese and Worldwide (Is it 1984 yet?) wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Crean Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Good to see they're actually paying for images Maybe they are staring to realise all the freebies sent in by viewers are worth exactly what they cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 I must start watching University Challenge. Although the images sold were Natalie Bennett, Nelson's Column and a street sign in Prague - I'd love to know where they'd been used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regen Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 3/4 sales each year for over 250 dollars each but not thro Alamy. look forward to a price increase now that Alamy are supplying although the licence conditions are as generous as ever!! regen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Six Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Have had a couple of Alamy images in the Countryfile mag a few years ago, and one on bbc.com. Have also had a request from the BBC to use one of my images on Flickr free of charge - I declined of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Baker Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 What are BBC sales rates like? Do you think they're screwing the Alamy price system down to the very basic - or are they respectable amounts? Rgds, Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 If you mean a TV licence to own a TV set in the UK, £145.50/year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 What's a tv license going for? My worldwide and Japan TV licenses on Alamy have ranged from $115 to $250. Don't know what the price calculator says. It tends to be creative fiction, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
