What Is an Owned & Operated (O&O) Channel?
An Owned & Operated channel is a YouTube channel provisioned directly from the InterSpace MCN/CMS. Instead of applying to link an existing channel to the network, we set up a channel for you inside the network from day one — fully configured, network-linked, and monetisation-ready — and then hand it over to you to run.
Who It Is For
- Artists launching a new channel who want monetisation and network protection from the very first upload
- Labels setting up channels for new signings or sub-brands
- Creators who want to skip the slow path of building channel eligibility from scratch
What Is Included
- A channel provisioned under the InterSpace MCN/CMS
- Monetisation enabled through the network from day one
- Whitelisting against the InterSpace catalogue — no claims on your own uploads
- Content ID and rights protection from the start
- Revenue reporting into your InterSpace dashboard, paid out with your royalties
- Full handover — you operate the channel, control the content, and own the uploads
Pricing
O&O channels are provided for a one-time upfront fee, separate from the standard MCN joining fee. The current fee is confirmed with you when you make a request.
How to Request an O&O Channel
- Email legal@interspacemusic.com with the subject "O&O Channel Request"
- Include your InterSpace account email, your artist or label name, and what the channel will be used for
- Our team replies with the current fee, the agreement, and next steps
- Once payment and the agreement are complete, the channel is provisioned and handed over to you
Your Responsibilities
After handover the channel is yours to run. All content you upload must comply with YouTube's Community Guidelines and copyright rules — strikes or unlicensed third-party content can put the channel's network status at risk, just like any other channel in the MCN.
