1Assumes 10% exclusion for ad agency commissions (up to 15% permitted on the blanket but not the per program). Even this figure understates the per program/blanket relationship because it does not reflect the deductions available under the blanket license but not the per program license (which effectively lowers the blanket fee, increase the relative per program fee, and increase the ratio reflected in the last column).
