cctv etc. get charged in
terms of commission when they use a channel representation company in
europe , asia or the middle east to get them carriage. If possible

One example of such a channel representation company is Zonevision in Europe.

Well it depends on the source and I doubt you'd every see outside of

your an insider.

Another News Agent:  Pricing is set by agreements with that station or company
Often they will agree that each other can have the footage for some
set price pre story.
