I was watching the Discovery channel today, and I noticed that the very last
image they show in one of their name announcements ("You're watching the
Discovery Channel") is a one second clip of the Babylon 5 station.  So my
question is: who gets paid for this use of WB copyrighted material, how
often do they get paid (one lump sum, every time the image is shown, etc.)
and about how much would they get paid?

Just wondering how the system works.  Thanks in advance for any answer.

If I recall correctly, they asked for and received a waiver, so as far as I
know, there's no money involved at all.
