Intellectual Property Management Software to be Utilized by The Hub, OWN and 3net

NEW YORK – RSG Media Systems, a leading provider of software applications to manage intellectual property in the media and entertainment industry, has extended a deal with Discovery Communications, the world’s number one nonfiction media company, for RSG’s  RightsLogic® Asset Maintenance, Rights In and Rights Out software modules. As part of the agreement, Discovery will extend the use of this application to its joint venture cable networks including children’s and family network The Hub, OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, and 3net, the joint venture 24/7 3D network from Sony, Discovery.

With this agreement, The Hub, OWN and 3net will utilize RSG Media Systems’ Asset Maintenance software, which will help the networks store data for all of their media assets and properties, including programs, episodes, films, music, and elemental assets such as digital clips and other derivative works.  Stored in a centralized location, with access governed by network based security, the software will ensure data consistency, be searchable, and eliminate duplicates in the system.  RSG Media Systems is also implementing its RightsLogic Rights-In and Rights-Out software, which will help the channels synthesize and distill deal information for acquired and original content, ensuring that all appropriate personnel are fully aware of such key events as option renewal windows and payments due in or out.

“RSG Media’s RightsLogic apps will provide transparency into media asset availability so Discovery and their JV partners know what content they have to use or sell across myriad platforms, including digital. It eliminates the need for time consuming manual updates and tracking licensing deals and content,” said RSG Media’s CEO Mukesh Sehgal. “With the implementation of these applications, we look forward to supporting Discovery Communications and its joint venture networks as they continue to grow their licensing business.”
