Does "per broadcast episode" not mean "per episode that was broadcast"? The irregular verb "broadcast" is the same whether present or past tense. Or is there some definition of "broadcast" specified at the top of the contract to make sure it's not interpreted as a past-tense verb? Or something? That said, good luck fighting it in court regardless I guess...
- wodenokoto 4y agoYeah. I mean, the point is he got cheated on a technicality, but my take away is "I want to know more about the technicality"
- amatecha 4y agoYeah exactly -- just how badly did he get screwed over? Or was it nearly "obvious" this might happen, knowing the industry? Contracts suck when it's an individual vs. a $multi-billion corporate behemoth.

- izaidi 4y ago"Broadcast" in this context means over-the-air terrestrial television, i.e. free networks like NBC, ABC and CBS. Sci-Fi (now Syfy) is a cable channel and writers have historically been paid less for cable shows.
