2022 Commercials Contract: Available Editing Assets

Hello,

The 2022 Commercials Contract introduced a simpler and more flexible editing structure. We’ve learned through feedback from the 2023 quarterly surveys and questions asked to the JPC that there is a desire for education about how the editing structure works.

While we continue to work on additional resources, we thought it would be helpful to provide a summary of the editing assets currently available to you:

• Commercials Contract Website
  A website to search and review contract terms (including editing) side-by-side throughout the 2016 Contract, 2019 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and 2022 MOA, along with educational materials and any applicable waivers
  
  Tip: Click on ‘Categories’ on the top right of the website and scroll to ‘Editing’ for a quick overview of all sections that address Editing
• “Intro to Editing in the 2022 Commercials Contract” Video
  Instructional video that breaks down the editing provisions in the 2022 Contract
• Paid Edits Example and Fee Breakdown
  Example of a base :30 commercial with the breakdown of session fees for each edit
• Additional Paid Edits Examples
  Paid Edits examples used in previous town halls
• Unpermitted Edits Examples
  Contract terms and examples of Unpermitted Edits
• Shorter/Longer/Same length Versions Example and Fee Breakdown
  Example of a base :30 commercial with the breakdown of session fees for each edit
• 2022 Commercials Contract Summary of Changes
  Chart that summarizes past contract terms vs. the 2022 Contract provisions and key insights

Should you have any questions after reviewing the assets, please send them to Kim Stevens at kstevens@jointpolicycommittee.org or Beth Haynes at bhaynes@jointpolicycommittee.org.
