If I wanted to distribute movies/tv programs over digital media where/who do I contact about copyright/royalties ? Presume there is a central organisation/body/company rather than having to contact each of the distributors individually?

Try IMRO (Ireland), MCPS (UK) and RIAA (USA).

Depends on what kind of digital media.
* Disk
* Streaming
* Podcasts
* Broadcast (Cable, Satellite, Terrestrial)
* Phones

You might need a content licence from BCI too.
If you are re-distributing exsiting TV channels you need to talk to those channels.
