What the scheme covers
The CNC’s broadcast support concerns the television broadcasting of a feature film: an eligible broadcast can generate automatic financial support for the producer. The broadcast must take place within eight years of the first commercial cinema release. The producer must declare the broadcast to the CNC in time to use the support, with the supporting documents required depending on the situation (declaration, proof of payment of rights or broadcast statements, where applicable). The calculation depends in particular on the capped basis, the applicable rate and the coefficient on the production approval.
